Janice Vancleave's Teaching the Fun of Science - (Science for Fun) by Janice VanCleave (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Kinder interessieren sich immer weniger für Naturwissenschaften? Weit gefehlt! Es kommt nur darauf an, den Stoff kindgerecht aufzubereiten und vor allem die richtigen Anknüpfungspunkte zu finden, um Begeisterung und Neugier zu wecken. Lassen Sie sich von Janice VanCleave inspirieren! Die populäre Kinderbuchautorin zeigt hier, wie man Kindern anhand von Experimenten Wissenschaft vermittelt und sie befähigt, selbständig weiter zu "forschen". Dabei ist der Text durchaus wissenschaftlich exakt! Jedes Kapitel beginnt mit einem schrittweise erklärten und illustrierten Versuch, erläutert wichtige Begriffe und Definitionen und hilft, die Ergebnisse richtig einzuordnen. Für Eltern und Lehrer!
