Jump into Science is the perfect way to turn children’s love of active games into learning opportunities! Bring science to life by helping children learn about their bodies, animals, seasons, and the weather. The activities in each chapter are organized by level of difficulty, and each one incorporates fun, exciting science experiences with movement. Most activities require few or no materials and include related children’s books or music to extend the learning. The science skills index is an invaluable reference tool, giving teachers flexibility to plan around children’s interests.

Research shows that the most effective way for children to learn concepts is to experience them physically. Jump into Science offers just this kind of learning. Activities such as The Mirror Game, Dinosaur Stomp, and Water and Ice will actively engage children as they explore new science concepts!

Chapters include:
The Human Body
The Five Senses
Animals & Other Creatures
The Seasons, Weather, and Other Natural Wonders
