Book excerpt: Focusing on the use of common, everyday materials that can be obtained for free or purchased inexpensively, this document was developed to provide classroom teachers, youth leaders, camp counselors and parents with ideas and activities in science. A major emphasis is placed on "starter" activities, which are designed to encourage children to ask "why" or "what would happen if" type questions about science events. Chapter one includes a suggested scope and sequence for a K-6 elementary science program, noting activities in the book that fit into the proposed curriculum. Chapter two identifies four major functions of teaching, including planning, implementation, evaluation, and communication. Science safety hints and charts for the teacher and student are contained in chapter three. Examples that are designed to show how to make your own science materials are provided in chapter four. Chapters five, six, and seven describe over 100 hands-on science activities in biological, physical, and earth and space sciences, respectively. Chapters eight and nine contain hundreds of "starter activities" that are reproducible for enrichment purposes. Chapter ten includes information on science organizations, science periodicals, science catalogs, science curriculum projects, textbook series, evaluation criteria, sample log sheets, and reference materials.
