Roller Coaster Science: 50 Wet, Wacky, Wild, Dizzy Experiments about Things Kids Like Best

Rating:
Summary: Resource for Elementary School Teachers and Parents
Review: This book was referenced by several others, so I thought I would give it a try. The author has written the Amusement Park Physics manual for a kit produced by CENCO Scientific, and I was curious what might be in store. The book contains a number of activities appropriate to 3rd through 7th grade, or even a curious adult. The activities are fun, but without some sort of supporting instruction, they become randomized fun things to do with little meaningful learning going on. This might be a good resource for a teacher to use for some laboratory experiment ideas that can be supported by coherent instruction. I am happy that I have it as a reference on my shelf.
