No-cost, easy-to-use activities teach physical science and develop scientific thinking Developing Critical Thinking through Science presents standards-based, hands-on, minds-on activities that help students learn basic physical science principles and the scientific method of investigation. Each activity is a 10- to 30-minute guided experiment in which students are prompted to verbalize their step-by-step observations, predictions, and conclusions. Reproducible pictures or charts are included when needed, but the focus is inquiry-based, hands-on science. Preparation time is short, and most materials can be found around the home. Step-by-step procedures, questions, answer guidelines, and clear illustrations are provided. Practical applications at the end of each activity relate science concepts to real-life experiences. Grades 1-3.
I really like the Critical Thinking books. The science, books one and two are great for home schooling. I can teach both my children the same lesson, different levels. They love hands-on, thought provoking activities. It doesn't even feel like learning because it's just FUN.
