Easy, Inexpensive, fun science for kids and adults........1999-05-16

This book, along with its companion volumn, Teaching Children about Life and Earth Sciences, is a must have for anyone interested in doing hands-on science with kids. The experiments are easy, inexpensive, and don't require a Ph.D in rocket science. Both books are well organized, and have background information and suggested additional resources for further investigation. I have used both books in my own teachng, writing, and with my own children. For great science, you don't need to look any further.

Superb for both children and adults!...Dr. Kain.......1999-01-13

Elaine Levenson takes teaching of elementary science to a new level. She is a kindergarten teacher who developed experiments and concepts from her own young classroom. Yet I know very few adults who could explain scientific phenomenon as well as Elaine. Each chapter contains a background which clearly explains the science behind the experiments. The experiments themselves are simple and require few materials. Elaine's approach of inquiry includes many questions to ask children during the experiments. In effect, the children learn by themselves. It's an outstanding approach since the science is neither "magic" nor are the explanations too advanced for young children...from The Science Spiders(TM) Newsletter.END

From the supplier: The behavioral problems among students that are commonly encountered by physical education teachers can be alleviated by adapting active behavior management strategies. The academic learning time should be increased by systematically improving the student's discipline and behavior. Positive rules should be developed and explained to the students to prevent misunderstandings. The performance of an active behavior management program can be evaluated by using a record-keeping system. The comments of the students are also important in evaluating the efficiency of the program.
