Here's a book to help students
create cross-disciplinary projects by using materials they make
themselves. From clays and dough, to compounds and crystals, to healthy
treats and snacks, children can access the formulas and recipes to make
them all! This updated resource combines everything from the former two
volumes into one comprehensive edition and features even more recipes,
additional relevant content, and expanded connections between activities
and curriculum.
Every activity provides you with easy-to-follow, step-by-step directions. Each tried-and-true, safe concoction uses easily obtainable ingredients and provides suggestions for determining why and when each formula can be used. The book contains recommendations for linking projects to curriculum to help make each activity relevant and educational. Organized into 33 chapters, projects include making musical instruments, growing and using plants, conducting science experiments, and preparing food for ourselves and other creatures.
