One Thing Leads to Another activities are intended to build on one another in a specific area. These are all activities that should be considered when developing a unit or a theme. Each activity description provides directions, a list of necessary materials, as well as background information on the topic being explored. For easy reference there is a chart in the front of the book listing forty topics, in ten subject areas, with page numbers where correlating activities can be found. Science Is . . . is designed to provoke students' thoughts and questions and would provide an excellent lead in to Type II and Type III investigations.
Science Is . . .
Each week's issue contains 8 colorful pages of current world events. Students are able to dive into topics that deal with politics, entertainment and multi-culturalism by utilizing maps, timelines, graphs and question and answer sections. Attached to the classroom magazine package is a teacher's guide filled with suggestions, puzzles and question prompts that can extend the issue throughout the curriculum or be used to set up extended activities for interested students. Ask your librarian, principal or PTO if they would sponsor purchasing a class set. With the simple preface of this book, the writers make you feel the agony of a young child in school.
