Exploratorium books rock!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I would recommend any of the Exploratorium books. They have very "do-able" activities that can be dramatic and make their point clearly. This one has some repeats of other Exploratorium books, as well as new ideas. I work with elementary science students (from pre-K to 5th grade) and these books are jewels in my planning, especially for my middle elementary kids.
