Hands-On General Science Activities With Real-Life Applications: Ready-to-Use Labs, Projects, and Activities for Grades 5-12 2nd Edition

kids and I read this book for fun facts and good book to have around for times with friends as well.

Great for science teaching and project ideas grades 7-9... if you have higher level or younger kids, you need to do some serious modifying.

Haven't done any labs yet.

Recommend it for any science teacher for middle and high schoolers, was very helpful

Useful for informational text practice resources with hands on activities. This is an excellent resource for middle school and beyond.

I use this book to homeschool the high school sciences. The activities and labs don't require materials that I don't all ready have around the house and the instructions are very clear. I use Glencoe and Prentice Hall texts and this book to supplement and reinforcement the concepts. It has been extremely usefully:)

I got this for Christmas last year before I started my student teaching, and as a first year teacher it's my number one go-to resource when I need an activity or worksheet that approaches the subject differently or gives more practice with a particular concept. The background information is generally easy to follow and the worksheets are engaging while still providing the students with information to learn. And as a bonus, in my opinion, the worksheets usually don't go in the order of the text so my students actually have to READ to find the answers instead of skimming. :)
