Publisher's Synopsis
The most effective learning strategies involve applying new knowledge to hands-on activities so that learners turn abstract ideas into concrete experiences. This clever, science-oriented series focuses on need-to-know elementary curricula subjects such as animals, electricity, sound, plants, and the human body. Key topics of each theme are explained in accessible, at-level text and then used as springboards into high-interest activities, including games, experiments, and crafts. Diagrams, illustrations, and photographs clarify concepts and add visual appeal to these volumes--wonderful additions to any science collection.
