Science

This book is part of a series that motivates learning by basing each science lesson on an entertaining, attention-grabbing story; gets students actively involved in "doing science" in a form that they can relate to their own lives; offers adaptable lesson plans that can be used as a whole or selectively to suit the needs of a particular class; includes a range of photocopiable worksheets that are also handy for future reference notes. Any stereotypes about science being dry and remote will be shown out the classroom door with this inventive, irresistible series. Like the others, this book is designed to hook children at all primary levels into learning by basing each lesson on an engaging story that demonstrates how key scientific concepts are embedded in everyday life. The related activities then build on the story, usually requiring students to undertake their own investigations and again relate science directly to the world they know. The lessons offer a captivating way to introduce a topic or can be readily woven into a broader plan for a unit of work.
