I had an earlier book that Dinah Zike had written about Earth Science ideas and foldables. I thought this would be the same. Since I allowed someone to borrow that book (and they never returned it), I am lost.
This book isn’t anything like her other book. This is like the Janet Van Cleave books. Which is are OK, but I already have 1000s of activities. I needed the foldables to go with the activities I already have.
I was disappointed. But since it would cost almost half of the price of the book to return it….I just kept it and think it will be a good present for a brand new science teacher.

I bought this book for use in my sixth grade classroom, it is a little to basic for my students but there are a few good demonstration and activity ideas. I bought the book looking for a large number of activities, and I found that this book has a little too much explanatory information on some subjects (1 activity every 2-3 pages in the book). I just wanted activities, not another textbook! I can see that for a self contained elementary classroom it would be a good resource and it should be marketed K-5.
