provenance61 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'm working on a class for our coop, grades 1-3, and need suggestions for books/curriculum that others have found helpful. In particular, I'd like it to be "real" science that explains the principles behind experiments, along with fun hands-on activities for this age level. We would be doing the experiments as a group. Any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

provenance61 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Thank you, I'll look into that book...any others? Anyone done a kitchen science class for similar ages and have tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropymama Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I used one of the Adventures with Atoms and Molecules books a few years ago.. I think there are four of them and I had the first one. They're all easy experiments using household items, although we found that a few didn't work for us because the books are older. No film canisters in my house! That was fun. Just an FYI, each experiment starts with a question and the answer is always yes. Once they figured that out it took a bit of the fun away so I just stopped asking the question. We also used Fizz, Bubble and Flash which was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I've never used it, but there's "Cooking & Science for Elementary Students" at Rainbow: http://www.rainbowresource.com/product/Cooking+%26amp%3B+Science+for+Elementary+Students/012176/a267399df7220a0f3dac05d9?subject=11&category=3348 The recipes talk about the concept to study and walks the student through making the observations needed. Each recipe has space to draw or write observations. It doesn't go very in depth for science concepts, but it does give the students experience with observing and cooking.
