From artifi cial limbs to automobiles, we live in the age of
polymers. Few, if any, products of technology have aff ected our
lives more than these. Use this expanded second edition of Polymers
All Around You! to introduce elementary, middle, and high school
students to polymers with exciting, hands-on activities: [ dissolve
plastic in water [ make gooey gluep and slime [ create a cellophane
tape kaleidoscope [ skewer a balloon (without popping it!) [ soak
up water with a polymer powder [ investigate mysterious invisible
crystals [ test a grocery bag's stretch [ shrink plastic into fun
shapes [ and more! By bringing polymer activities into your
classroom, you will help your students develop an appreciation for
the products of technology that they use every day and give them a
solid foundation on which to base the decisions they will make as
voters and consumers.
Holidays and special events are times of excitement and energy.
Children are quick to pick up on this excitement. One of our
teachers has dubbed it the "holiday crazies." If the "crazies" are
viewed to be an obstacle, productive learning can be difficult, but
if dealt with as a positive thing, this youthful enthusiasm can
provide the motivation for otherwise untapped learning
opportunities. Science Projects for Holidays throughout the Year
was developed to help teachers turn the "holiday crazies" into a
fun and exciting time to learn about science. Holiday celebrations
and science make a great team-because the crafts often associated
with holidays are typically rooted in science, tying them to
productive hands-on science lessons makes for good learning
experiences. Use holidays and other special days to engage students
in fun hands-on science. * 23 complete lessons * Includes
