Good for Elementary Use
31 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
I bought this book for use in my sixth grade classroom, it is a little to basic for my students but there are a few good demonstration and activity ideas. I bought the book looking for a large number of activities, and I found that this book has a little too much explanatory information on some subjects (1 activity every 2-3 pages in the book). I just wanted activities, not another textbook! I can see that for a self contained elementary classroom it would be a good resource and it should be marketed K-5.

The Earth Science Book: Activities for Kids
18 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although, at first glance this title looks too simple for my Middle School students, I must revise that opinion because the demonstrations and the labs I have been able to draw from this book have been exciting and will help greatly in this years classes. I believe that some of the material in this book will create an excitment in the classroom and help develop a much better understanding of many concepts for students who learn visually and by hands on experiences. I highly recommend this book to all teachers, parents, and students who have an interest in the Earth Sciences.

Excellent book for young, great for Cub Scouts, too. I may have to buy two so I can give one to my grandson. Perfect for home schooling.
