Title: Excellent Resource
Review: I teach 7th grade Earth Science; even though this book is geared towards 3rd-6th grade, so many of the activities are useful demos and short hands-on activities to deepen the learning of my students.I love the set-up of the book: it is divided into the various divisions of Earth Science (astronomy, rocks and minerals, oceans, etc) and has a TON of experiments in each section. They are all easy to do; most use materials from around the house. The few that don't use materials that are easy to find at any store. Each experiment is supplemented by a simple, yet very clear illustration, easy-to-follow steps, and an explanation of why the experiment works the way it does.If you teach middle school, VanCleave's books are great to have!!
