Description
Category Description for Common Sense Science
Teaching elementary science should be efficient, easy, and enjoyable—it’s just common sense! Common Sense Science is the revised version of the Great Science Adventures series and retains two of its key virtues: children make their own science program by putting complicated information in a simple-to-understand visual format, and children learn together.
Each Book contains helpful information on philosophy and how
to use the book, lessons with teaching information, and lab/activity
instructions. To help the students conceptualize, analyze, review, and apply
the knowledge gleaned, lesson activities involve the construction of 3D Graphic
Organizers from the Student Material Packet. Vocabulary is integral to all
lessons. Included labs rely on household items and/or the Graphic Organizers.
The scientific method guides students through the labs, with index cards used
to record predictions, observations, experiments, and conclusions.
Additionally, students need pencils, scissors, glue, colored pencils/ crayons,
letter-size manila file folders or cardstock, multi-colored 8.5” x 11” paper,
and a large zip lock bag.
For those who learn best by doing, this approach is well worth considering. The Common Sense Science books are divided into 18 three-day weeks (one semester). Available in print or e-book editions individually or in sets.
