Description: This material consists of three binders, each containing eight to 15 activities based on these themes: Family, Geology, and Oceans. Through hands-on activities and experiments, students reinforce their conceptual understanding of complex topics, such as heritage, volcanoes, and density. Activities include investigating family names, building an earthquake simulator, and graphing fish populations with software. The lessons are scripted and contain simple, step-by-step procedures for delivery, as well as pre- and post-quizzes. Most involve scientific thinking, creative expression, and opportunities for students to showcase their work or extend the learning. Additional lessons and themes are available from the publisher at http://curricubits.com/.

Reviewers' Notes: The activities in this resource are fun and helpful in reinforcing knowledge in various content areas. Lessons can be taught as stand-alone or as part of the larger theme. There may be minimal costs involved in purchasing the materials needed for the activities, but most are common household items.
