In addition to being in print, the Guidebook is available electronically on the Website and CD ROM. It can be downloaded in its entirety or in part, depending upon your needs.

You can adapt the Guidebook so that it is appropriate for your students. The Guidebook contains 22 activities grouped within 9 modules. For ease of use, the layout is consistant throughout the activities

Modules contain two to four activities each depending upon the Module focus. Each module has introductory information, which states the purpose of the module and tells you whatto expect from the activities.

All activities have the following features:

  • Teacher Background: Content information specific to that activity.
  • Activity Instructions: Materials, General Overview, Homework, Assessment, Standards, and Extensions. Extensions are research-oriented and include strategies for incorporating music, art, literature, mathematics, social studies, and other areas.
  • Student Page: Includes background for students and instructions for the activity.

The introductory material includes information on how to use the materials, health and safety-related issues regarding the materials, the processes of science, and how to create graphs and tables, as well as the use of other visual organizers.

An appendix is included that provides you with blackline masters supporting the activities, graph paper to be copied, and sample data tables. A master reference list is provided, as well as an annotated bibliography of literature that can be incorporated to support and enhance the activities.
