The Science Teacher's Activity-A-Day, Grades 5-10: Over 180 Reproducible Pages of Quick, Fun Projects that Illustrate Basic Concepts

This book is great for a science teacher or tutor or even a parent who wants to add some short, clarifying, hands-on work to their teaching.Each activity is well organized, uses just a few, easy-to-find items, and has a single, eel-made point. The instructions are clear and there are excellent follow up questions and/or activities for the student. I would guess most activities would take between 2 and 10 minutes.The range of topics for which there are activities is extremely broad. I included photos of the table of contents so you can see the long list and one activity page so you can see what a typical activity looks like because I find it difficult to evaluate these kinds of books online without seeing a page.I am a home teacher/tutor and although I just got this book I KNOW I will be using it extensively this year. It’s perfect for adding that hands-on element that helps so many students learn and enjoy science.My one complaint is that it is printed in low quality, non-white paper, which is harder for me to read.

I'm a high school science teacher. I use this book as a reference for my science labs. The labs in this book are excellent for getting abstract ideas across to the students. So far the cost associated with the labs is minimal and only a few items are needed.This is a great resource for science teachers.

I ordered this book to get some new ideas for my biology and chemistry classes. After receiving it I found that most of the activities are geared toward the life sciences. The book is split into three units: physical science, life science, and earth science. Each unit has several sections about a particular subject (16 sections total for the book) with about 10-12 lessons per section.Most of the activities are short and would make a good warm-up, or demonstration. Some of the activities are kind of silly (like cutting up paper to try to cut it to the size of an atom).Overall this book is fairly useful for me since I teach two subjects, however, I can see how others wouldn't find this book as helpful.

This is a good value for teachers needing some resources for their class. It is really useful and you can pull from various areas of the book. I’m glad I purchased it!

This came yesterday in the mail and I have just looked through it. It contains some good experiments and they could certainly require a full class session to perform. It is good learning material in this book. I highly recommend it, but have not used any of the experiments yet. I just looked at a few of them. You would have to research your own state standards to see where these activities fit, but it is certainly a good book!

This is really for a quick daily lesson or experiment, not an ongoing curriculum. It did not work for us and required a number of items be available to use for the experiments and space to do them in. It has a great variety and if it was for multiple kids or a classroom would probably work great. It's smaller than expected, but has good descriptions of the activities.

So my husband and I are leery consumers of educational materials in the classroom as so many are no good. This book was a pleasant surprise! Fun, quick, cheap, hands-on activities to introduce or reinforce all sorts of science concepts. A great buy for a budding teacher, a veteran teacher, or a parent science enthusiast!

I am extremely happy with my purchase! This book is stuffed with short activities that would work great as mini-labs (or full class labs, depending on your student's abilities). They have coordinating standards. Each lab has follow up questions.There are labs that can fit for an entire middle school's science curriculum (or upper elementary).The labs are simple enough for ESL students or good supplements for advanced material.Love this book!

Mi esposa los usa mucho en sus clases de ingles en primaria como complementos a su programa de trabajo semanal

Excellent approach to student community as well to teacher/parent also.

Great resource - used by most of mty colleagues too. Best part is the questions with extension and VERY easy to put to use at school.
