The science activities for kids in our Course 1 are designed for students in the early elementary grades. Many of the activities in the books are fun for students of all ages. Teachers that have multiple grades in their classroom will find the books in this section fun and easy to do for their students.
Each of the four activity books contain short lessons followed by a fun hands on science activity. The lessons are designed to take a short period of time to teach followed by lots of time for students to complete the activities. There are fifteen different activities in each of our four activity books. Each activity has a color picture that illustrates the activity.
Teacher purchasing this course may find they like to pick and choose from the various books when they plan their lessons. Each lesson stands alone and the lessons do not need to be completed in any order.
The materials for each of the activities in these books are usually found around the home or at a nearby store. The author’s goal is to create fun activity books that are easy to do with a minimum of materials.
Myrna became interested in Earth Science with the eruption of Mount Saint Helens. The volcano is located about 90 miles from our home. Myrna created her own lessons plans and took her sons to watch the volcano erupt.
Tom, Myrna and Brett started their home-based business in 1998. The business began with a single rock identification kit that included a textbook and a set of volcanic rocks. Today the company has over thirty books and seven different set of rocks for sale.
Myrna is a prize winning author and was named Professional of the Year for Science Textbook Publishing. Our company sells science materials world wide. Our science materials were on display in Australia as part of an Earth Science exhibit on educational materials that are available to the general public.
