Science

Children piece together circuit blocks in different combinations to become more familiar with how a circuit works while also developing problem-solving skills. Starter Set contains on switch, battery pack, buzzer, light, 5 direction pieces and a helicopter piece. The Expansion Pack challenges students to make bigger and more complex electronic circuits by adding more electronic blocks, lights and switches. Each set includes activity sheet with circuit ideas. Batteries not included

Applying the Standards: STEM for grade 2 offers 64 pages of highly engaging STEM tasks. It includes a problem-solving rubric and guided pages that walk students through completing each step of the STEM process. Second graders will complete tasks in areas such as measurement, flight physics, food chemistry, sound, and the geometry of structures. The Applying the Standards: STEM series emphasizes creativity and innovation in science, technology, engineering, and math. This is a series of six 64-page books for students in kindergarten to grade 5. A variety of topics are covered with 30 engaging tasks, and a culminating reflection question for each task encourages students to think about and apply their newfound learning and knowledge.

“Write-on/wipe-off” charts are ideal for student review and reinforcement! Each 12" x 18" chart is laminated and double-sided—Side 1 features a graphic overview of the topic; Side 2 provides “write-on/wipe-off” activities.

Science is simply fascinating! It helps us learn about the world around us. Did you know some magnets are strong enough to lift cars? Or that water we use today may have been drunk by dinosaurs? In these pages you'll learn all about motion, sound, magnets, water, and more.

This collection of 50 quick, mind-blowing experiments will have students clamoring for more! Make a balloon scream, create a "magic wand" that moves a soda can, balance an egg, keep paper dry underwater, and more. Use these learning-rich activities to introduce a new topic, review a science concept, or bring a lesson to an exciting conclusion. Each activity requires only a few easy-to-find materials and includes background information, discussion questions, and correlations to the NGSS. Includes

• 50 large (8 x 5") index cards and 3 tabs (life, physical, and earth science)
• sturdy storage unit

This Bugs Tin Set contains a detailed 32 page reference book, and educational wall chart, a spider model kit, a small net and magnifying glass. Fun ways to discover and explore the world around us!

Giant sized multifunctional tray measuring 22.25" x 17.32" x 4" is designed to fit over the TickiT® Ultra Bright LED Light Panel (sold separately) or it can be used on a desk, on the floor - inside or out. Made from clear polycarbonate giving it incredible strength and longevity in the classroom where its rigidity means that even when filled with water it can be lifted and moved around without it flexing. In addition to its everyday uses with a variety of liquids and textures for general artwork, the tray has been cleverly designed to fit over the TickiT® Ultra Bright LED Light Panel to provide a space for the illumination of activities. Children will enjoy using this when making patterns, drawing, painting or using food substances (tapioca, rice, pasta, lentils, etc...) to create interesting textures and effects. Also brilliant for use with inks, dyes and for marbling.

Made from flexible and durable silicone. These number sets are made for tracing! Yellow SiliShapes® Trace Numbers include molded tracing lines and arrows for writing formation.

Cool oscillation station! Place the magnet wires on the base, move them, and watch the unique ways they oscillate as their invisible magnetic forces "bounce" off one another. Station allows for lots of additional interactions--observe as you make iron filings dance and propel steel balls inside the clear viewing tray, add more movement by spinning the station's turntable, investigate eddy currents, and more. Explore force (including magnetism) and interactions, motion and stability, energy, waves, engineering design, patterns, and cause and effect. Includes enough materials for teacher demo and one small group: wood station with turntable, 2 viewing trays with graph insert, 4 magnet wave wires, steel station base with placement grid, 12 steel disc weights, plastic starting ring, tube of iron filings, tube of steel balls, measuring spoon, and 48-page teacher's guide. Great for classroom science labs, STEM and STEAM programs, science fairs, maker spaces, and more!

Ideal for teachers, students, and parents, this series can be used as a stand-alone resource or a supplement for other science materials, including basals. Lessons include specific topic instruction, key terms, review activities in standardized test format, and experiment pages. 128 pages.

Engaging, Ready-to-Use Learning Centers for Review of Standards-Based Science Skills!

This complete, easy-to-use learning center is perfect for learning essential grade appropriate science skills. Designed for either teacher directed instruction or independent learning working in groups of 2-4 students, the learning center covers a grade appropriate curriculum-aligned science topic or skill making it perfect for differentiated instruction.This ready-to-go learning center, allows students of varying abilities to work independently or cooperatively — students can use them in the classroom, after-school programs, or even at home for test preparation or practice and review! Enough materials are provided for up to 4 students and are a snap to set up and store in the pouch provided for years of use!

To use, students first review and complete the Visual Learning Guide and then form groups of up to 4 students to assess and/or reinforce their understanding of the topic by playing the Curriculum Mastery Game®.

The Living & Nonliving Things Learning Center provides materials for 4 students and includes:.

1 Curriculum Mastery Game featuring:
• 1 Set of 30 illustrated self-checking question cards
• 1 Laminated double-sided game board & game pieces for up to 4 players

4 Visual Learning Guides focused on the same topic.

Each "Write-On/Wipe-Off" Visual learning guide is 11” x 17”, laminated and consists of four-pages which include self-directed readings, easy-to-follow illustrated explanations, guiding questions, graphic organizers and assessment review questions.

Packed in a zippered storage pouch.

These dynamic resources provide guided lessons to integrate project-based learning into your science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum. Each unit provides background information for teachers and students and moves from teacher-directed activities toward more open-ended activities. The culminating activity in each unit allows students to design their own unique “invention” or conduct an experiment of their own creation. Students will be challenged to work collaboratively, using a design process that helps them “step into STEM” with greater competence and confidence. 160 pages.
