The critical thinking questions in each activity are excellent. I need help guiding my students through science projects, and they have scripted out thought-provoking questions that will help my students learn. I am delighted.

This is one of the only hands-on science books I've used where all the experiments worked perfectly.

My children are really understanding concepts like air pressure, molecules, states of matter, etc. I've used a couple of other programs, but this has been the best!

A thorough, hands-on approach to the true scientific method. The transfer skills are incredible. Even after our first lesson students were saying, 'That's not an observation. You're just giving an opinion. That's an inference and not a fact.' I'm happy to recommend these books.

A nice collection of activities presenting the basic concepts of physical science. No special equipment or prior knowledge of science is required.…They will give your child a firm foundation in the physical sciences.

We love the <i>Critical Thinking through Science</i> books and would recommend them to anyone to help students understand science. They are truly hands-on books for the 'non-hands-on'er.'

So you don't know nuttin' about science. So you don't have a lot of time to do science. So you don't have a lot of fancy equipment. 'So what?' With the help of <i>Developing Critical Thinking through Science</i> you'll have 80 step-by-step science experiments covering 17 science areas.<br>The experiments are [e]asy to use, lots of good 'thinking' questions, and lots of good answers."

Science can and should motivate students toward learning and toward developing curiosity about the world in which they live.<br>Science is viewed as an active process of developing ideas, or 'storybuilding,' rather than as static bodies of already-existing knowledge to be passed on to students."

I am SO impressed with this material! I wish I'd had it sooner. Preparation time is minimal and what's required is very reasonable and achievable. The activities invariably lead to more discussion and practical application of the principles demonstrated. Its not just my 15- and 11-year-olds who are learning. I am, too!! I am SO, SO impressed!!!!! We love it!!!
