Physical Science Activities for Elementary and Middle School.
2nd ed. Mark R. Malone. CESI Sourcebook V. Washington, D.C.: Council for Elementary Science International (CESI), 1994.
Recommended grade level:
1-7.
Physical Science Activities for Elementary and Middle School, a sourcebook of physical science activities, contains materials developed for teachers by teachers who have tested them with their own students. Topics include sound, light and color, electricity, forces and motion, simple machines, heat, matter, chemistry, and space. Activities include making a kazoo from a cardboard tube to investigate sound, making paper dolls dance from static electricity, predicting the velocity of a rolling ball by observing its motion along a rail, using shadows to tell time, and learning about bonding by making slime.
The lesson plan for each of the 119 activities in this guide includes the following components: a short description of the concepts and/or skills developed by the activity; a list of materials and equipment needed; suggestions for planning, organizing, and implementing the activities; ideas for extending the lesson; and a list of references.
Price:
$19.
Publisher/supplier:
CESI.
Materials:
Available locally, or from commercial suppliers.
