Science Month By Month - Practical Ideas and Activities for Teachers and Homeschoolers

Science Month By Month - Practical Ideas and Activities for Teachers and Homeschoolers by Julia Farish Spencer, Ph.D. 

If you want your students to think scientifically and have fun while they are doing it, Science Month by Month is the book for you. This collection of lessons, activities, calendars of historic science events, vocabulary word lists, and reproducible worksheets will help you develop seasonal science-theme units for your classrooms. The more than 80 activities are designed for flexibility and can be used in any sequence, any time during the school year. The activities are interdisciplinary, cover all areas of the science curriculum, complement other science programs and textbooks, and are easy to implement without special equipment or materials.

This book includes:

• A blank monthly calendar that can be enlarged and posted on the bulletin board, used for teacher's lesson planning, or handed out for students to fill in.
• A list of dates to remember and background information for the activities. This list of calendar events highlights science-related historical events or landmarks and also includes basic background information for the activities.
• Reproducible activity sheets that are correlated to many of the calendar dates.
• Five weekly calendar sheets that are found at the end of each section. They can be reproduced and handed out to students, or teachers can use them to write lesson plan notes.
• Six appendixes covering information for ordering supplementary videos, DVDs, and software; a science almanac trivia game; and reproducible charts and forms for tracking student progress, preparing science mini-reports, and awarding students with science certificates.
