Teaching Science

Science Activities for All Students, 2-Volume Set by Aviva Ebner Praise for the previous edition: "...familiar projects have been modified so they can be conducted in the same ways by all students, including those with special needs..."—Booklist (Science Projects for All Students) 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 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.
