Nestof3 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Here are samples: http://books.google.com/books?id=SDbXoJ43tLQC&pg=PA15&lpg=PA15&dq=amazing+earth+model+book+back+in+print&source=bl&ots=1SqKqy7SPV&sig=H7d5N8SzbVip6vSmI7P4VyPcPKo&hl=en&ei=2cVaTLmHDY2osQP9zLHDDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CCsQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q&f=false I have just finished making my photocopies of activities for our upcoming year of earth science, and I photocopied 90 percent of the activities. They are great for hands-on, papercrafts people. The book also includes experiments for the activities. You will recognize the author, Donald M. Silver, from the One Small Square books. He has also written some other great teacher resource books for Scholastic.

Satori Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thanks for the heads up! I love the One Small Square series, and this book looks very interesting. Too bad it's out of print, but I'll get a used copy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ME-Mommy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 A friend of mine just bought this book -- after using the Body Book by the same author. She really likes his material and said the activities/crafts are easy and fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaLee Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 :iagree: This was on my wish list for 2 years because the price was like $300 or something ridiculous like that. Unbelievable! I finally got it in April for $20 + shipping. It's an awful lot for something like this, but it is a wonderful book and we plan on using it for most of this year.

Nestof3 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 A few months ago, it looked like it had come back into print. Amazon was selling it normally. I don't know what was up with that. :iagree: This was on my wish list for 2 years because the price was like $300 or something ridiculous like that. Unbelievable! I finally got it in April for $20 + shipping. It's an awful lot for something like this, but it is a wonderful book and we plan on using it for most of this year.

fhjmom Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 This site has a link to lesson plans/activities for use with this book: http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Coll_MickiHR/DynamicEarthPop-UpBook (The Dynamic Earth Teacher's Guide) This site is geared more towards clasroom teachers but it looks like some good stuff! There is als a link to another site with activities and it says the plans can be used without the book, in case you can't find it. I haven't read all the way through it yet, but it gets some high reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaReads Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I scored this book at a used curriculum sale in the spring for a couple bucks. I just thought it looked like fun. Glad to hear such great reviews. Jesi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siloam Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I own all the Donald Silver paper craft books (I think), love them! This one I was just blessed with, someone put it up on Paper Back Swap, and I had it on my Wish List. I was very glad to get it.
