Science (Daily Problems and Weekly Puzzlers, Grade 2)
Author: Freeman, Sara
This collection of challenging and engaging hands-on science problems is perfect for homework, warm-ups, and for extending and enriching any science program. These problems and puzzlers reflect and support the recommendations of the National Research Council as stated in the National Science Education Standards, as well as the goals of Project 2061's Benchmarks for Science Literacy. Each problem and puzzler is linked directly to one of these standards: Life Science, Physical Science, Earth and Space Science, Human and Social Science, Scientific Processes, History and Nature of Science, Science and Technology, and Scientific Thought. Students can work individually, in pairs, or in small groups. Because the focus is on learning science by "doing" science, some equipment is required, most of which can be found in the classroom or at home. This book contains 68 daily problems, 20 weekly puzzlers (more like investigations), teacher notes, solutions, and charts that cross-reference problems to the National Science Education Standards
