I'm fortunate that my school district adopted a hands-on science program that provides a sufficient number of materials for an entire classroom. <br />That being said, I find it easier to break the students into smaller groups (no more than eight per group). While I am working with one group observing, interacting, experimenting, and discussing the science project/theme, the other groups are involved with related activities. Perhaps one group is 'reading' a box of high interest books related to the theme while another is engaged in a theme related art project. <br />Children, particularly young ones, love learning about the world around them. Teaching them science is worth overcoming the obstacles.Katjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170686350584900691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4186667433819310087.post-6626849957520621612009-08-26T22:09:46.220-04:002009-08-26T22:09:46.220-04:00@ Jami: Great!

Here is another one of my absolute favorite science experiment books: "Secret Science - 25 Experiments Your Teacher Doesn't Know About" by Steve Spangler. I purchased the book because I had been teaching elementary school science for 17 years and thought there were really were not any experiments that I had not done. I was WRONG!
