WonderScience is WonderFul

It's Big, It's WONDERful

This book has everything to help kids wonder about science through hands-on projects. I recommend it highly, and I've been working with kids for years. You won't run out of ideas in this big big book. The only downside is chosing which ones to do!

This book is a "must have" for elementary teachers.

Elementary teachers! This is the one you've been looking for. This is a collection of very do-able experiments, with easy to understand directions for students (and teacher), materials that are readily available,and covering every science topic taught in grades 4-6. And the best part: If your science background is a little limited, this book has a quick, to the point, explanation of each experiment-it states what will happen and why. In my opinion, this book is aptly titled "The Best..."
