Young Inventors

Do you have active, inventive kids who would enjoy designing structures with spaghetti or launching ping pong balls with rubber bands? This program, developed for use as an after-school informal science program for grades 4 through 8, uses simple, easily-obtained materials for activities designed to get kids to experience scientific concepts in an enjoyable way. Each lesson is laid out for you and includes an opening activity to use while kids are arriving, a demonstration, a reading about an inventor, instructions about the activity for the day, suggested reference books, and closing ideas. Contains 24 activities. [Reviewed by Valerie Thorpe]
