A dynamic experience for your students

This book is part of the GEMS workbooks. I have used several of these books in my classroom and they have never failed to provide quality knowledge or learning experiences for my students. This book provided top quality background information with several lessons. It also included everything you need to know in the way of safety and storage of dry ice for the labs. I recommend this book to any science teacher who want to engage their students in doing science, rather than just reading about science.
