Super Science Connections
Super Science Connections: Integrated Activities for Grades K–3 (SSC) was designed to help elementary school teachers who have little science background integrate hands-on science activities into a typical K–3 curriculum. It was written by K–3 teachers, for K–3 teachers. SSC consists of seven sections, each of which is available separately for download. The Super Science Connections print version remains available through the ICE Online Store.
ICE Devices: Constructing Inexpensive Classroom & Lab Tools
ICE Devices contains instructions for building 10 science teaching tools as well as background information about soldering; all are low cost and made with easy-to-find materials. With ICE Devices students can learn from making a device as well as by using it to demonstrate a chemical principle. For example, the BB Board can be used to demonstrate annealing, hardening, and tempering of metals; the neon lamp cord demonstrates the chemistry of vision; the chromatography simulator illustrates size-exclusion column chromatography. Each of the 10 devices is available separately for download. Available online only.
