Fun With Germs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Achoo! has to be in my classroom. I want my students to read this book, discuss each topic, and do all the activities. ItÕs fun, itÕs relevant, itÕs engaging, itÕs not too long, itÕs full of good, up-to-date information and scientific methodology. Like Momma BearÕs soup, itÕs just right.Achoo! is about good and bad germs, what they are (viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa), how they live in and on us and our surroundings, how they effect our lives (disease, body odor, halitosis, pimples, etc.), and how we have learned to deal with them (immunity, antibiotics, vaccines, hygiene, etc.).For a book that is only 40 pages long, it is full of accurate information presented in manageable sub topics, with appropriate safety cautions, and colorful, relevant, and amusing illustrations. Eight ÒYou Try ItÓ activities expand the studentÕs understanding with both quick and days-long investigations that can be done in class and/or at home using simple materials. The reading level, format, readability, and the ages of the young people in the illustrations will be attractive and understandable to the target age group of 9-14 years.
