4.0 out of 5 stars Nice teaching resource, October 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Marvels of Science: 50 Fascinating 5-Minute Reads (Paperback)

The stories in this book are nice, short, and work well to fill in extra class time, introduce subject matter, include historical perspectives, or stimulate discussion about the nature of science. I didn't much appreciate the author's liberal use of his storytelling lisence to make up dialougue and such.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvels of Science, November 12, 2003

Mimi (Brooklyn,NY. United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Marvels of Science: 50 Fascinating 5-Minute Reads (Paperback)

This is a fantastic resource for teachers who are interested in incorporating more reading in science! The stories are written as if they were fiction, with much imagery. The book is fun to read outloud and lends itself to many other activities. Every science teacher to whom I've shown the book has loved it!
