A Taste of Science, Grades 3-5: A Teacher Resource

This book provides both teachers and students a wide variety of hands-on, inquiry-based experiments that enhance and reinforce scientific thinking and vocabulary. The experiments supplement any science curriculum and provide students with a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. Experiments are designed to hone specific process and observation skills using readily available materials. Units of study and experimentation include objectives, material lists, focus questions, teacher and student instructions, reproducible record sheets, and follow-up questions and activities. Unit experiment examples include measurement using gummy worms, acids and bases using cabbage juice as an indicator, and density using cereal, just to name a few!
