Focus On Middle School Chemistry Student Text is geared towards grades 5-8. At this age kids are ready to start learning the basic steps of the scientific method. Not only do these kids have lots of questions, they want to tinker, experiment, and examine the world on their own. At this age kids already natural scientists – they just need a program that works! Middle School Chemistry takes college level information and makes it available for younger students. Without compromising the integrity of the science, Middle School Chemistry introduces kids to real chemistry terms and concepts. And best of all it’s easy to teach! Anyone can do it.Each chapter also comes with an accompanying laboratory experiment. These are real experiments and not just recipes or demonstrations. With the Level I experiments, Dr. Keller walks students through the scientific method encouraging kids to question, inquire, examine, and think critically. Doing real science experiments can make the difference between learning science and loving it! The Teacher’s Manual gives additional information related to the student text and additional direction for the laboratory experiments.

A field trip fizzles out when Ms. Frizzle arrives at the museum with her class only to find that the planetarium is closed! Luckily, they've got the world's most science-friendly form of transportation: The Magic School Bus. Soon the class is zooming out of the stratosphere on a tour of the real solar system, with bus stops at the moon, the sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and planetary points beyond. Along the way they dish up comically cosmic puns, plus jokes like "Could Saturn take a bath? Yes, but it might leave a ring!" By the time they make it back to the classroom at the end of the day, they've become veteran space explorers with lots of out-of-this world... See nonfiction companion book: #8286 Learn More
