Science Activities for All Students
by
Science Activities for All Students is a two-volume binder set that replaces ""Science Projects for All Students"" and ""More Science Projects for All Students"". Developed with the basic assumption that all students should and can participate in science activities, these new 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. Each binder is also enhanced by approximately 250 black-and-white line illustrations, as well as a glossary, a bibliography, an index, and helpful Teachers' Hints, making these appealing volumes an essential addition to science classrooms.

Picture-Perfect Science Lessons
by
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. And now they offer five brand-new lessons: "Batteries Included"; "The Secrets of Flight"; "Down the Drain"; "If I Built a Car"; and "Bugs!", bringing the total to 20. Both reluctant scientists and struggling readers will quickly find themselves absorbed in scientific discovery. You'll love how effective this book is, and your students will love learning about science.
