Description
These are very helpful compendiums of science activities especially conceived for the youngest "scientist." Each has an introduction, materials list, detailed instructions for you (including discussion and conclusion), plus a "Want to do more?" extension activity to use if you want to expand on the activity. The original book is somewhat less useful than the sequel. Although activities are great, the organization makes it a little difficult to find activities to go with a particular study. Basic units of organization include: On Your Own (Science Center Activities), Building with Science (Construction and Measurement), Science for a Crowd, Paints and Prints, Wet and Messy, Science to Grow On (Health and Nutrition), Learning About Nature (Outdoor Science), and Acting Out Science in a Big Way. Use the index to locate activities on particular science topics. The second book has a more useful organization. Basic units include: Colors, Crystals and Creations (Chemistry); How Things Work (Physics); Digging in the Dirt (Geology); How Hot, How Cold, How Windy, How Wet (Weather); Aerial Acrobatics (Flight and Space); Roots and Shoots (Plants); Houses for Slugs, Hideouts for Hamsters (Zoology); and How Much, How Far, How Many (Mathematics). A most welcome feature of both is the inclusion of a suggested minimum age for each activity.

As a child I always found science difficult and boring I wanted my children to see science as a world of amazement More Mudpies to Magnets helps to do just that It is easy to use - just open it up and select which course of study you want to explore - Chemistry Physics weather etc Sound like too technical of concepts for young kids? How about these titles: "Dizzy Snake" "Kool-Aid Chemistry"? For each activity the materials needed are listed on the left hand side of the pages along with vocabulary and language topics The materials are easy to gather and for the most part are items you have in your home A brief introduction is given step by step instructions along with questions or ideas to get the children thinking and ideas for exploring more about the topic are included on the page I've used this book with my own children and in Co-op settings with children between the ages of 4 and 12 Every child I've ever taught with this book has loved the experiments learned something new or gained further insight into a topic and had fun with science! Even my older children request to be involved in the learning for little brother when I pull out More Mudpies to Magnets and enjoying telling about what they remember from using the book

Why did you choose this?
Needed for our Science curriculum.
It goes along with the science curriculum I already bought for my 1st grader.
I chose this book because it is required text for Elemental Science: Intro to Science. Looking forward to using it!
This was recommended from our science curriculum.
