Our core Elementary School Introductory Science
Experiments lab manual contains over 20 activities for
the core topic areas that you already teach in life, earth
and physical sciences. With the SPARK Science Learning
System tough topics such as endothermic and exothermic
reactions, circuits and microclimates are easier to teach.
A sample of experiments includes:
Earth Science
? Water Cycle
? Seasons and Climate
Life Science
? Plant Growth
? Feeling and Measuring Temperature
Physical Science
? Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions
? Electric Circuits
A set of 10 activities from the Elementary School Introductory Science Experiments
lab manual will ship preloaded on the SPARK Science Learning System. Pre-installed
Elementary School SPARKlabs provide a highly interactive, inquiry-based learning
experience.
