Good for Elementary Use
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I bought this book for use in my sixth grade classroom, it is a little to basic for my students but there are a few good demonstration and activity ideas. I bought the book looking for a large number of activities, and I found that this book has a little too much explanatory information on some subjects (1 activity every 2-3 pages in the book). I just wanted activities, not another textbook! I can see that for a self contained elementary classroom it would be a good resource and it should be marketed K-5.
