The Science Teacher's Activity-A-Day, Grades 5-10: Over 180 Reproducible Pages of Quick, Fun Projects that Illustrate Basic Concepts

This book was great. it had fun easy activities to do as warm ups, demonstrations or lessons. The materials for the lessons were easy to get. The grade level 5-10 was appropriate. It had lessons in physical, life science, and earth science. Background information and diagrams were provided and helpful. It is a great resource for science teachers

This book is great for a science teacher or tutor or even a parent who wants to add some short, clarifying, hands-on work to their teaching.Each activity is well organized, uses just a few, easy-to-find items, and has a single, eel-made point. The instructions are clear and there are excellent follow up questions and/or activities for the student. I would guess most activities would take between 2 and 10 minutes.The range of topics for which there are activities is extremely broad. I included photos of the table of contents so you can see the long list and one activity page so you can see what a typical activity looks like because I find it difficult to evaluate these kinds of books online without seeing a page.I am a home teacher/tutor and although I just got this book I KNOW I will be using it extensively this year. It’s perfect for adding that hands-on element that helps so many students learn and enjoy science.My one complaint is that it is printed in low quality, non-white paper, which is harder for me to read.

I can probably use 30-40% of this book's content for high school biology class. It is a nice book; minimal work would be required to use the activities. Some of the activities are truly 5-10 minute items to do with your class. Some could take half the class to complete. It's all about adaptation, and I personally like the variety. For the price I paid, I think this is an absolute bargain. Most educational books give me one lousy activity for $50.If you are a teacher for grades 5-7, you might consider the other book for the younger ages. This might be more pointed towards the higher ends.

I'm a high school science teacher. I use this book as a reference for my science labs. The labs in this book are excellent for getting abstract ideas across to the students. So far the cost associated with the labs is minimal and only a few items are needed.This is a great resource for science teachers.

This is a good value for teachers needing some resources for their class. It is really useful and you can pull from various areas of the book. I’m glad I purchased it!

This is really for a quick daily lesson or experiment, not an ongoing curriculum. It did not work for us and required a number of items be available to use for the experiments and space to do them in. It has a great variety and if it was for multiple kids or a classroom would probably work great. It's smaller than expected, but has good descriptions of the activities.

This came yesterday in the mail and I have just looked through it. It contains some good experiments and they could certainly require a full class session to perform. It is good learning material in this book. I highly recommend it, but have not used any of the experiments yet. I just looked at a few of them. You would have to research your own state standards to see where these activities fit, but it is certainly a good book!

So my husband and I are leery consumers of educational materials in the classroom as so many are no good. This book was a pleasant surprise! Fun, quick, cheap, hands-on activities to introduce or reinforce all sorts of science concepts. A great buy for a budding teacher, a veteran teacher, or a parent science enthusiast!
