Activities and projects encourage children to learn about Life Science. Included in the bundle are 5 books. Grades 4 through 8.

Investigating Science Series: Life Science (G8591AP)
Investigating Life Science explores a variety of specific areas in the life sciences and provides the teacher with instructional activities. One set of activities provided is an interdisciplinary array based on a single scientific concept. This section includes specific open-ended activities in Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Math, and the Arts. Also included is an activity related to an individual or group who made a significant contribution in this area. The teacher may choose to do all, some, or only one of the activities to provide instruction to students. The open-ended nature of each of the activities empowers the teacher to differentiate and/or individualize what the students produce based on interest, strength, and/or ability.

Science Giants: Life Science (G5555BG)
First experiment, then understand—that’s how these books work. First, students perform an activity or experiment and try to understand what it tells them about how the world works or how science is conducted. They then study a reproducible handout with a reading about the original discoverers and classic experiments underpinning the theories that apply to and explain the phenomena under investigation. Grades 5–8. Glossaries. Bibliographies. 8½" x 11". Twenty-five activities focus on topics such as classification, natural selection, cells and DNA, plants, and the human body. 140 pages.

Challenging Puzzles: Life Science (G5176LG)
These critical and creative reasoning problems using the required curriculum in any subject are challenging and fun. When deductive and creative thinking puzzles are linked to content they can be used to: - teach facts - teach content vocabulary - reinforce research skills - motivate students Critical and creative reasoning puzzles can be used as curriculum extensions and as anchor activities in the differentiated classroom, for pre and post testing, or as an introduction to a new unit.
