 Activities for Elementary School Science
James W. Stockard, Jr. and Michael R. Gilchrist
An invaluable guidebook for developing interest, meaning, and true understanding in the science classroom! This volume for prospective and current elementary-school teachers is designed to encourage a sense of exploration in their pupils, prompting them to ask questions about different aspects of their world. The science activities featured in this large-format paperback motivate pupils to engage actively in inquiries about the processes and concepts of life science, earth science, physical science, and the environment—with a timely emphasis on pertinent topics in ecology, ecosystems, and habitats. Featured are the plant and animal kingdoms; astronomy and the realm of space; the properties of water; principles of meteorology, geology, biology, and chemistry; as well as basic laws of physics.  $25.95 list, 250 pages 10-digit ISBN: 0-88133-998-9 13-digit ISBN: 978-0-88133-998-7 © 1998 Table of Contents
