| Summary: | "After-school and out-of-school programs--as well as home schooling--have been growing steadily for nearly a decade, but instructors are still searching for high-interest content that ties into science standards without the rigidity of current classroom canon. The author draws on more than 20 years of experience doing hands-on science to facilitate tinkering: learning science while fooling around with real things. In this book, you'll learn tinkering techniques in key science areas; how to let kids learn science with hands-on tinkering; engaging techniques for science learning at home, in school, or at a makerspace or library; and step-by-step instructions for activities that don't end with a single project, but that provide many paths for 'tinkering forward'."--Publisher's description. |
