Hands-On Science for Manitoba is filled with a year’s worth of classroom-tested activities. The grade-seven book is custom-written to the Manitoba science curriculum (2000), and divided into four units: * Interactions Within Ecosystems * Particle Theory of Matter * Forces and Structures * Earth’s Crust This teacher resource offers a detailed introduction to the Hands-On Science program, which includes its guiding principles, implementation guidelines, an overview of the science skills that grade 7 students use and develop, a classroom assessment plan complete with record-keeping templates, and digital reproducible student materials.…mehr
