Science Snacks are good nutrition for your students!, June 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Magic Wand and Other Bright Experiments on Light and Color (Paperback)
This book was one of the luckiest finds I've ever happened upon! It is full of quick, easy, and low-budget ideas to give your classroom an exciting, hands-on boost. My favorite snack was the soap film painting, but there were dozens of others to captivate my students' interest. I was so inspired by this book that I have started having Friday "snacktime" in my class each week. The short experiments in this book make excellent stand-alone enrichment projects that provide opportunities for inquiry-based learning in a short time frame. They also make great introductions to larger-frame studies of light, color, reflection, refraction, diffraction, etc. I found the activities to be appropriate and adaptable to a wide range of grade levels, from elementary through highschool. This book is a must-have for anyone teaching science, or for parents who want to do kitchen chemistry with their children at home.
