Significant moments of scientists' discoveries and inventions come alive in these 12 scripts based on stories in Marvels of Science. Linked with each are student experiments that parallel or simulate the actual experiments in the story. For example, young learners can enact the process by which Galileo developed his Law of Falling Objects. Detailed directions and step-by-step instructions guide students through experiments in physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, rocketry, genetics, and other major fields of science. Great Moments in Science has been used as a recommended text at Clarion University of Pennsylvania.

This review is from: Great Moments in Science: Experiments and Readers Theatre (Paperback)

I have borrowed this book from a colleague more than six times, i think it's time to buy my own. I can't believe I'm the first to review it. Reader's Theatre is an excellent way to teach, I love using these lessons. It even has a little background information for the teacher. I have not used the experiements that go along with the book because it calls for far too many "ingredients." I am excited to have this for my own. Kids love to be involved, this book helps that work.
