Weather Wits and Science Snickers: Corny Jokes and Cool Facts!
Mr. LaNore has shared some corny jokes, that the kids really enjoy. He has also taken some interesting, yet sometimes hard to explain, subjects and he has explained them in a very kid friendly way. Even though it is geared for 3rd or 4th graders and up, I have used a couple of the lessons with my high reading 1st graders and will use more of them next school year. I will also be using the supplemental teacher guide and student workbook that Steve has recently published...they are good resources too. ~ Review by Theresa LittlefieldExcerpt from Book Description:
See how fun and science blend together into an easy and informative read for ages 8 and up.

The reader will enjoy some "cool" real-world images included in each section, and Web links provide plenty of opportunity for further exploration of each topic.
