Hijinks In Teaching Science: (Hits) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781663275363)

Joanna Shubin's Hijinks in Teaching Science (HITS) is a collection of playful, lively, fun, and engaging activities, designed to teach science to children and, in some cases, adults. A science classroom can occasionally be a crazy, chaotic space, so come along for this limitless voyage of joyous exploration.
Discover French-fry-eating mealworms, Madagascar hissing roaches called Watson and Crick, an intelligent goldfi sh called Darwin, and a blind professor of geology. See if the famed Fischer Space Pens can really write under any circumstance, and get some tips for science experiments that celebrate holidays all year round.
Of course, there's also the unexpected dangers involved in collecting pond water. Learn also of the good that can be done by bringing exciting experiments to a children's hospital. Be reminded that science does not have to stand alone but can also be mixed with art to make amazing creations. HITS is a book for educators, student teachers, and anyone who wants to enjoy an entertaining and informative science romp. It's wonderful when kids can be so creative!
