Developed with the basic assumption that all students should and can participate in science activities, these binders enable students in grades 4 through 9 with developmental or physical challenges to join their classmates in fun, hands-on activities. There are 60 experiments in each binder—designed to be as inclusive as possible—in the areas of basic skills, Earth science, weather, space science, life science, and physical science.
ISBN: Science Crafts for Kids by Gwen Diehn; Terry Krautwurst This unique resource provides high—interest, ready—to—use activities to help students master basic science skills including earth study, scientific method, the solar system, chemistry, physical science, life science, water and erosion, and weather and climate for use with students of varying ability levels.
Plus, many activities include "Quick Access Information" flags providing helpful information on key concepts. Volcano Expressions. Solar System Connections. Grouping Chemistry Expressions. It Sounds to Be True. A Sound Study Research Page. Newton and His Laws of Motion. The Food Poisoning Puzzle. Design a Storm. It features experiments including 40 new ones that focus on weather and space that middle and high school students can perform at home or in a school lab.
Experiments are divided into procedure, the underlying scientific ISBN: Junk Lab by Michael Elsohn Ross This eye-catching, inquiry-based series uses everyday objects and hands-on experiments to engage students in exploring science and the scientific method in fun new ways. What can you do with an old broken toaster? Why would you keep used plastic containers? Through swirling, soggy, squirting experiments that you make up on your own you can answer questions like these and discover that science is a fun way to explore.
Featured Resources The Exploratorium Science Snackbook by Exploratorium Teacher Institute Staff Kids and teachers can build their own science projects based on exhibits from San Francisco's premiere science museum This revised and updated edition offers instructions for building junior versions, or "snacks," of the famed Exploratorium's exhibits.

Olsen Editor ; Susan J. Kovalik Editor Rediscover science from a child's perspective and enhance your inquiry-based science toolbox with brain-based strategies that integrate science across content areas and improve student outcomes. Morgan This newly revised and expanded 2nd edition of Picture-Perfect Science Lessons manages to surpass the original. Classroom veterans Karen Ansberry and Emily Morgan, who also coach teachers through nationwide workshops know elementary educators are usually crunched for science instruction time and could often use refresher explanations of scientific concepts.
So the authors added comprehensive backgound notes to each chapter and included new reading strategies. They still show you exactly how to combine science and reading in a natural way with classroom-tested lessons in physical science, life science, and Earth and space science. Grades Call Number: LB Its week-by-week suggestions for in- and out-of-class activities support students as they learn to design units for use in their first classrooms.
Peter Smagorinsky, the leading scholar and researcher of his generation in the field of English education, shows English teachers how to turn every hour of classroom instruction into an authentic and powerful learning experience in his inspiring new book, Teaching English by Design. It's a wonderful book and represents a challenge to all of us to teach better than we usually do.
Teaching English by Design does it all. It helps avoid a fragmentary curriculum by providing the rationale and the process for not only teaching well but also for producing integrated units that encourage students to deepen their thinking across the school year. Teaching English by Design is two books in one: a primer for teaching secondary English and a comprehensive guide to creating and using four to six-week instructional units.
Peter Smagorinsky shares important insight about students, how they learn, and what kinds of classrooms support their achievement in reading and writing. Then he uses those findings to open up the key ideas of unit design to every teacher. Smagorinsky's units are organized around key concepts in English, such as: reading strategies writing strategies genres periods, regions, and movements in literature themes the works of a significant author.
From original idea to construction, to implementation and beyond, Smagorinsky's practical advice supports teachers in extending, connecting, and integrating their units to increase the cohesion and power of the curriculum.
Incorporating curricular theory, educational psychology, and fourteen years of high school teaching experience, Peter Smagorinsky's advice is both theoretically sound and grounded in the daily realities of today's teacher. Complemented by a wealth of web-based illustrations, Teaching English by Design is the ideal resource for preservice teachers as well as those in the classroom who want to take charge of their curriculum and find new energy in it.
