Science Investigations for Intermediate Students.
Rev. ed. Carl Pfeiffer. SciQuest series. Fort Atkinson, Wis.: Nasco, 1994.
Recommended grade level:
6-8.
Science Investigations for Intermediate Students, presented in 3-ring-binder format, provides directions for more than 100 physical science activities. Each activity is categorized by grade level. A wide range of concepts is covered: the properties of air and water, motion, simple machines, heat, light, sound, magnetism, electromagnetism, electricity, acids and bases, and earth and space science. Seven activities on food and nutrition are included. Among the activities, students investigate the periodic motion of a pendulum, explore the relationship between heat and temperature, experiment with magnets and iron filings to determine a magnetic line of force, build and use a sundial, and conduct simple chemical tests to identify the presence of carbohydrates in food.
Each activity in the volume includes reproducible directions, data sheets, and evaluation forms. No background material for teachers is supplied.
Prices:
Teacher's guide, $25.00. Complete kit, $420.05. Set of 14 teacher videos (optional), $280.00.
Publisher/supplier:
Nasco.
Materials:
Available locally, from commercial suppliers, or in kit.
