How to do science experiements with young children

I purchased this book as a used item. It shows its wear but it has been gently used and it was just what I was looking for. I had always borrowed the book from a colleague so now it will be nice to not have to bother her any more. This book is out of print so I am grateful I was able to find it here.

Super

I can not say enough positive things about this book. I only wish there was a book two to follow up with this book. As a homeschooler this book gave me the start of a science program with my young children. As a former school teacher, I wish I had had this book when I began teaching. It has exciting experiments that are easy to do with simply inexpensive household items. The children first read the experiment then predict what they think will happen, do the experiment and document the results. This is the beginning stages of making a science experiment for the science fairs. I particularly liked that this book had the explanations of what was happening in simple to understand terms so that you can easily explain to the kids what happened and why the end result was what it was. Worth every penny. Enjoy

Fantastic!

This book is a must have for educators of grades 1-3. It contains 70 experiments to do with children and my classes have been excited and interested in learning about each one that we've done together. Each experiment follows the scientific method and usually can be conducted with items that are readily available. You'll find that each experiment has teacher instructions, explanations, student method sheets, and student predictors to use to graph their hypothesis. This book is lacking in background information, but I've been able to use other materials to supplement the lessons. I also recommend this book for science fair projects.
