Science K-8: An Integrated Approach

Great resource for beginning teachers. Each chapter gives detailed information on teaching Science. Background information is also helpful. I really love the sample lessons and activities. A book I will keep in my bag of tricks...

Good book

This book was for my class and was very helpful. Good experiments in the book.

The Science Bible

This book, and its previous editions are amazing. The only textbook I've actually used from college. This is my second purchase of this book, because the first was so used and loved it fell apart. In fact I couldn't be without it! The science department of the private school, in which I work, is planning to buy it so they have it as a copy for their curriculum planning. It has an outline of data for EVERY concept/topic in Science eduation.
