Additional instruction also teaches readers about how to identify the BIG idea, while providing an at-home, hands-on activity using fairly easy-to-find items. In addition, the text will explain how and why activities work. From Barron’s, each book contains over 30 experiment-based learning activities (identified with symbols) 80 pgs, pb.
