Science Snacks are good nutrition for your students!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book was one of the luckiest finds I've ever happened upon! It is full of quick, easy, and low-budget ideas to give your classroom an exciting, hands-on boost. My favorite snack was the soap film painting, but there were dozens of others to captivate my students' interest. I was so inspired by this book that I have started having Friday "snacktime" in my class each week. The short experiments in this book make excellent stand-alone enrichment projects that provide opportunities for inquiry-based learning in a short time frame. They also make great introductions to larger-frame studies of light, color, reflection, refraction, diffraction, etc. I found the activities to be appropriate and adaptable to a wide range of grade levels, from elementary through highschool. This book is a must-have for anyone teaching science, or for parents who want to do kitchen chemistry with their children at home.
