Twenty-four creative, teacher-tested experiments entice students in grades 6 through 8 to explore firsthand the properties of the three states of matter--and the concepts of the changes of state between them--using toys and other everyday materials. While learning about the properties of solid, liquid, and gas, students will attempt to get a balloon into a bottle, watch a marshmallow expand and contract inside a syringe, boil water with ice, and much more. Developed with funding from the National Science Foundation, these ready-to-use, reproducible activities are designed to meet--and are clearly referenced to--the National Standards for Science Education.

Science, Nature & How It Works

McGraw=Hill

This book is a teacher's resource that provides complete instructions and teaching techniques for teaching chemistry principles through simple activities that use popular children's toys like Silly Putty, balloons, crayons, paints, Magic Sand, Dinosaur Grow Beasts, and others. The activities are grouped by appropriate grades, i.e., K-3, 4-6, and 7-9. Each activity provides the teacher with a list of key science topics.

Teaching Physical Science Through Children's Literature

Portman, Dwight J.

Gertz, Susan Enid

A hands-on and minds-on exploration of how the senses work--and how we use them to interact with the world around us--this teacher resource for primary grades teaches students how to use their five senses to explore the particle nature of matter through recording, classifying, presenting and explaining, their observations. Tested in hundreds of classrooms through the National Science Foundation--funded Teaching with TOYS program--and meeting the requirements of the new national science education standards--this innovative resource includes over 20 activities, such as Feely Balloons for the sense of touch; M&amp;M Classification for sight; Big Ben for hearing; Scratch-and-Sniff Challenge for smell; Jumbled-up Jell-O for taste, and I Can ``Sense'' You Like Popcorn for combining the senses. Three sections covering pedagogy, content, and activities feature dozens of reproducible work sheets, handouts, and suggestions for incorporating toy-based activities into lessons. Each activity includes grade level, key science topics, and science process skills, a materials list, and more.
