"Science in a Nutshell" are great [glow=red,2,300]hands-on science kits[/glow] created by Delta Education.
Each kit comes in it's own container and includes consumable materials for 5 or more uses and activity journals for 3 children (although you can buy more from Delta). We have not written in the journals. Each kit includes 8-12 activities that develop a specific science topic and an Activity Guide with simple, clearly written instructions for the parents (you don't have to be a Scientist to teach with these).
I have 12 Kits (listed below). They've provided a lot of fun and learning for my kids! We've only used these kits 1 time each (leaving 5 more uses available for each).
[glow=red,2,300]Ponds & Streams[/glow] (formation; habitats within; organism adaptation; pH effects of environment).
[glow=red,2,300]Is It Alive?[/glow] (characteristics of living things; behavior; environments for growth & reproduction).
[glow=red,2,300]Fossil Formations[/glow] (authentic fossils; create a mold; ice as a preservative; how created; where to find).
[glow=red,2,300]Small Wonders[/glow] (characteristics of organisms; animal structure & function; behavior; organism diversity; life cycles).
[glow=red,2,300]Breaking Earth's Hold [/glow](inertia; gravity; centripetal force; planets staying in orbit; weightlessness; space launches).
[glow=red,2,300]Gears At Work [/glow](gear systems; interaction w/transfer force & motion; gears & pulleys).
[glow=red,2,300]Rock Origins [/glow](igneous, sedimentary & metamorphic rocks; identify; how formed; properties of rocks & minerals).
[glow=red,2,300]Oceans In Motion[/glow] (physical features; waves, currents & tides; properties of water; water cycle; atmospheric movement).
[glow=red,2,300]Destination: Moon[/glow] (revolution & rotation; origins of moon's features; construct models; experiments).
[glow=red,2,300]Our Changing Earth[/glow] (processes; cause of surface changes; model landforms & crystal movement; earthquakes; volcanic eruption).
[glow=red,2,300]Soil Studies[/glow] (different types; composition; & properties; weathering; cause of erosion & how to prevent it).
[glow=red,2,300]Charge It! Static Electricity[/glow] (positive & negative; determine presence & type of charges; how to transfer or store charges).
The price is $20 each kit PLUS shipping (since they each weigh differently, I'll have to obtain shipping costs when you order & let you know how much).
Cashier's Checks or Postal Money Orders only. Shipments will be held until payment is received.
