Parenting blog "The Educators' Spin On It" recently reviewed Beth Rosenthal Davis' "Hands-On Science and Math: Fun, Fascinating Activities for Young Children."
Read their great assessment of the hands-on activities and watch their video featuring one of the activities in action!
From the blog:
My grade school children have less than 30 minutes a day for science. I know that this is a VERY short time for teachers to prepare and carry out a hands-on experience. Sadly, that means much of science in school is reading from non-fiction text, filling out worksheets, and watching short video clips on science topics. As a parent, it has been my mission to enrich their after school learning with a minimum of one hands-on science experiment at home every week.
