Science Experiments for Beginners, 156 Experiments - Collected, Selected, Ranked (Easy to Hard) and Tested by Science Teachers, Paperback

Early on, schools should create for all students an exciting exposure to the field of science. A collection of motivational beginning experiments have been compiled by the author primarily from the Oil companies School (Libya) and edited for children between the ages of 8 to 15. These beginning experiments successfully cover major units found in most school science textbooks and can be performed for little or no costs. They all have been tested and ranked from easy to hard by science teachers (note page 72). These beginning "hands-on" science experiments should be performed to illustrate a principle or to teach a point The student, when possible, should be led to see the result without being told. I believe their natural curiosity drives them to learn, follow their own interests with passion and work with commitment on their own learning. You might say, "It opens their minds," by use of the inquiry method and they learn primarily from the work they do and not necessarily from others. However, experiments should never be performed just to say, "Of course we do experiments with all our lessons." The experiments presented in this collection are neither complete nor all inclusive, but should be used as a teacher/student supplement (companion piece) to any selected school text(s), charter school, or home study materials that are being used. I would like to invite all teachers and parents to submit any updates, corrections, changes, new ideas, and personal teaching stories about what worked and why. Teacher/student experiment evaluation listing page/title is welcomed. Also, you can use the B-factor scale-A) Beauty (Blue Ribbon). B) Best (easy). C) Better (OK). D) Bummer (did not work and why). If you have some favorite educational inspirational poems, graphs, or stories that you want to share, they too would be greatly appreciated. Please direct all correspondence to: cilogue@msn.com.
