Science and Children Online: Sept 2002

One of our goals at Science and Children is to make use of the Internet to provide our members with as many resources as possible. This month, the online versions of several articles  include  downloadable and printable worksheets to help you complete some of the activities featured in the print pages of the September 2002 journal. Look for the highlighted links within the articles. You'll find the pictures and tally sheets you'll need if you'd like to participate in Assessing Students' Ideas about Plants, the biodiversity worksheets to get your students doing their own fieldwork like the authors did in  Backyard Biodiversity, and the museum worksheets used in the feature Talking Bones. You will need the Acrobat Reader plug-in to download these worksheets.

Special thanks to Dr. Lloyd Barrow, a science education professor at the University of Missouri, who shared some additional activities teachers can do with earthworms in the classroom. See The Dirt on Worms.

We've also provided some samples of student work to go along with the article There Go Those Kids in Nature.
