Enhanced Science Helper K-8 makes teaching elementary science more effective and a lot easier. It combines the 919 Science Helper K-8 Lesson Plans with a powerful search engine allowing you to search for lessons by grade level, subject, process skill, keyword, content, or by the National Science Education Standards. You can also scan the lesson’s abstract to quickly determine whether it meets your requirements. Once you have selected a lesson, you are able to edit and manipulate the document in text form, print it out, and make copies (of worksheets and activities) for your class.
To further help you prepare lesson plans, Enhanced Science Helper K-8 correlates each lesson to the Standards and includes numerous video resources — which are great for introducing material to your class or to brush up on science content.
The inclusion of an online help system provides up-to-date tutorials, support, and a product tour. Check it out at: www.coe.ufl.edu/esh/index.html
Dr. R.J. Hannapel, former Program Director at the National Science Foundation says that: “... the curriculum programs included on this disc [are] far ahead of their time and are an invaluable resource for teachers seeking to provide the very best of hands-on science instruction in their classroom”.
