Our Wonderful World: Solutions for Math + Science.
Activities Integrating Mathematics and Science (AIMS) series. Fresno, Calif.: AIMS Education Foundation, 1986.
Recommended grade level:
5-8.
The 19 activities in Our Wonderful World: Solutions for Math + Science focus on understanding the natural environment. Investigations are organized in 6 topic areas--air, water, transpiration, soil, plants, and animals/insects. Students are involved in activities such as analyzing the volume of snow, comparing habitats, classifying soils and categorizing leaves by their characteristics, exploring natural selection and camouflage, and testing clothes as insulators. Many of the activities are more appropriately done outdoors.
Our Wonderful World provides reproducible student worksheets, including data charts, tables, and graphs. A complete lesson plan is included for each of the 19 activities.
