Description and Features

Sciencewise uses experiments with surprising outcomes and hands-on activities that require critical thinking to teach scientific analysis and problem solving.

Dynamo Demos is a teacher-led section of Sciencewise that helps students to develop the science process skills: observing, predicting, experimenting, eliminating data, and drawing conclusions. In addition, students develop their problem solving and creative / critical thinking skills.

Creative Challenges are the student-centered portions of Sciencewise that helps students develop their creative / critical-thinking, problem-solving, and "inventioneering" skills.

In the Dynamo Demos, the teacher sets up an experiment and uses select questions to guide the students to a solution of the given problem. With the Creative Challenges, the teacher presents the problem (challenge) then functions merely as a technical advisor. Students must design and develop a solution to the problem (challenge). This allows students to practice and apply the science process skills demonstrated in the Dynamo Demos.

These activity books make terrific supplements used independently of any text, but the individual activities will be even more useful if you can use them as 'hooks' to lead your children into the study of particular topics.

One of the best things about Sciencewise is that it captures the attention of both my general science and college prep science students. The activities are great unit starters for teaching scientific method as well as terrific reference points to go back to after they've learned the methods. My students are entertained and mystified by the experiments and love the 'science sleuthing.'
