Editorial Reviews

Review

"Each activity begins with a concise explanation of the concept upon which it focuses and includes a materials list, the procedure, follow-up questions, and extensions. These high-interest investigations use materials that are inexpensive, easily accessible, and familiar to students" (National Science Teacher's Association.org, October 2010)

Praise for The Science Teacher's Activity-a-Day

"Research shows that students are more attentive at the start of a lesson. The Science Teacher's Activity-a-Day provides short and engaging activities to get your lesson off to a dynamic start."
—RYAN ADAMS, Ed.S., Douglas County Teacher of the Year, Douglas County School System

"As a differentiation facilitator, I know how difficult it is for teachers to engage students of various learning styles and intelligences. I recommend this book to science teachers in middle through high school to kick-start science lessons."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Teacher Resource

B.C.B. · March 11, 2025

This book was great. it had fun easy activities to do as warm ups, demonstrations or lessons. The materials for the lessons were easy to get. The grade level 5-10 was appropriate. It had lessons in physical, life science, and earth science. Background information and diagrams were provided and helpful. It is a great resource for science teachers

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, do not hesitate to buy.

A. · September 18, 2020

This book is great for a science teacher or tutor or even a parent who wants to add some short, clarifying, hands-on work to their teaching.Each activity is well organized, uses just a few, easy-to-find items, and has a single, eel-made point. The instructions are clear and there are excellent follow up questions and/or activities for the student. I would guess most activities would take between 2 and 10 minutes.The range of topics for which there are activities is extremely broad. I included photos of the table of contents so you can see the long list and one activity page so you can see what a typical activity looks like because I find it difficult to evaluate these kinds of books online without seeing a page.I am a home teacher/tutor and although I just got this book I KNOW I will be using it extensively this year. It’s perfect for adding that hands-on element that helps so many students learn and enjoy science.My one complaint is that it is printed in low quality, non-white paper, which is harder for me to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for in-class demo ideas

Great suggestions for lesson starters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for any teacher or parents’ collection

A. · September 24, 2019

So my husband and I are leery consumers of educational materials in the classroom as so many are no good. This book was a pleasant surprise! Fun, quick, cheap, hands-on activities to introduce or reinforce all sorts of science concepts. A great buy for a budding teacher, a veteran teacher, or a parent science enthusiast!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Labs Ever!

E. · July 13, 2024

I'm a high school science teacher. I use this book as a reference for my science labs. The labs in this book are excellent for getting abstract ideas across to the students. So far the cost associated with the labs is minimal and only a few items are needed.This is a great resource for science teachers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good activities terrible quality book

K. · January 20, 2014

This book has good activities than can be easily incorporated into the classroom, but the binding broke in less than half a school year. Pages are unglued and haphazardly tucked between other pages

5.0 out of 5 stars Good teacher resource

C.W. · December 9, 2023

This is a good value for teachers needing some resources for their class. It is really useful and you can pull from various areas of the book. I’m glad I purchased it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for short lab and especially ESL students

R. · October 23, 2011

I am extremely happy with my purchase! This book is stuffed with short activities that would work great as mini-labs (or full class labs, depending on your student's abilities). They have coordinating standards. Each lab has follow up questions.There are labs that can fit for an entire middle school's science curriculum (or upper elementary).The labs are simple enough for ESL students or good supplements for advanced material.Love this book!
