Most students are encouraged to participate in their schools' science fairs, and parents are often drafted to help in this effort. To make this experience interesting and informative for both students and parents, these books are packed with a variety of award-winning science experiments. 96 pages.

Support children's growing understanding of the world with these engaging stones featuring realistic impressions of fossils and bugs. Made from a unique stone mix, they are robust enough to be used both inside and outdoors. Designed to fit snugly in small inquisitive hands, the specimens measure 3"-4" and are safe for use by children ages 2 years and up. 8 stones per set. Grades PreK+

Colorfully illustrated cards provide comprehensive coverage of the key terms in the Disciplinary Core Ideas of the Next Science Generation Standards and current state standards. Printed on 4" x 5 1⁄2" heavy stock, each card features the term, its pronunciation and a graphic depiction on one side and the term's definition on the reverse. The cards are ideal for use in individual or small group review or on “word walls”, bulletin boards or as pocket charts. Includes 200 cards and Teacher Resource Guide.

Learn about the layers of the Earth, study tectonic plate movement, explore different volcanic shapes and eruptions, make real pumice float, create the ultimate “lava” mixture, paint and explode a volcano, and much, much more! This explosive kit includes a colorful poster with volcanic facts, pictures, and stickers. Ages 5+

Develop their senses and encourage science exploration with this set of 4 sturdy, clear tubes. Tubes feature dual openings. Vented lids let children explore their sense of smell or secure small creatures for observation. Lids twist on and off. Solid lids hold liquid securely inside.

Includes:

• 4 tubes
• 8 solid lids (2 red, 2 blue, 2 yellow, 2 orange)
• 4 vented lids (1 red, 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 orange)

Each tube measures 12”H x 2” Diameter

Constructed from sturdy lightweight 1-ply corrugated fiberboard with overlapping side panels that make transporting the board easy. The smooth surface has a matte finish that easily accepts markers, crayons, paints, and adhesives. Back of board is brown kraft. Measures 15" high x 20" wide overall—side panels measure 15" high x 6" wide, and the center panel measures 15" x 8" wide.

Children piece together circuit blocks in different combinations to become more familiar with how a circuit works while also developing problem-solving skills. Starter Set contains on switch, battery pack, buzzer, light, 5 direction pieces and a helicopter piece. The Expansion Pack challenges students to make bigger and more complex electronic circuits by adding more electronic blocks, lights and switches. Each set includes activity sheet with circuit ideas. Batteries not included

These colorful tweezers are just the right size for little hands. Each features ergonomic depressions to guide a proper pincer–grasp grip. A perfect skill–building resource for teachers, specialists and occupational therapists.

Includes:

• 12 Tweezers in 6 colors (red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple)
• Plastic storage container

Tweezers measure 6”L

Learning Style: Tactile

Skill Development:
Sensory- Great for students who are hypersensitive to textures; they can participate in tactile play using tweezers to hold and move objects.

Fine Motor- Helps develop the pincer grasp and fine motor skills needed for daily living (buttoning, zipping, holding a toothbrush, and picking up finger foods).

Fine Motor- While students concentrate on using these tweezers, they are unaware of the inner circuitry going on. By working on grasping, picking up, and releasing with the tweezers, they are developing eye-hand coordination (visual motor integration). As this skill advances, students become more proficient with tasks like handwriting, drawing, and forming numbers.

The Wheels & Axles module empowers students to add the wonder of motion to their structures. Once they've created their simple moving machines, students can explore authentic STEM concepts as they measure distance and speed or experiment with the impacts of variable incline or decline degrees. It's a great way to integrate the skills and concepts of math, science, engineering and design thinking.

Convenient, useful learning tools that decorate as they educate! Each chart measures 17" by 22". Related lessons and activities are provided on the back.

180 Days of Science for Sixth Grade provides teachers and parents with 180 days of daily practiceto build students' science content-area knowledge. The quick, diagnostic-based activities allow busy teachers to cover science content daily. Through these weekly units, grade 6 students will analyze and evaluate scientific data and scenarios, answer constructed response questions, improve their understanding of science and engineering practices, and increase their critical thinking and reasoning skills. Each week will assess students' knowledge of grade-level science content, and focuses on a grade-level topic within one of three science strands: physical science, life science, and Earth and space science. By integrating scientific practices, language arts and math concepts, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts, this resource helps teachers meet Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and state standards in their classrooms. With these daily activities, students will learn to think like scientists in no time! Digital files are included.
