Earth & Space Science (On the Mark)
Supplement your science curriculum with the activities and experiments found in this helpful series. Each book offers a list of learning expectations, a teacher assessment rubric, a student self-assessment rubric, and an introduction to the content. The intent of the books is two-fold - to teach concepts and give an opportunity for application. Each activity begins with criteria for success and the learning intent, list of materials, and the procedure to implement the lesson/activity. Pages for each activity (worksheets) are reproducible for group use and include textual information on specific topics along with writing activities, and sometimes hands-on activities. Examples of activities are experimenting with soil absorption in 7th grade, making a sundial in 1st grade, and testing rocks for hardness in 3rd grade. Enjoy learning about the Earth and space above with the addition of these activity books. 96 pgs, pb. ~ Donna
