Book Description:
Living Science Class – 8: Living Science 6—8 is planned as a skill-based series of books that emphasize thinking skills, research skills, experimental skills, application skills and life skills. Some key features of the updated edition of Living Science are as follows.
• Living Science has an activity—oriented approach with about 100 activities per book. Most of these are based on experimental work and involve setting up and performing experiments.
• The oral questions in each chapter are an important assessment tool. They are designed to be used for testing and strengthening the student’s understanding of the subject while the topic is being taught, and for getting immediate feedback on areas that need improvement. For best results these should be used to initiate discussions in class.
• Enrichment Activities contain research and information-gathering projects, lnternet—linked research/activities, experimental projects, presentations, and ideas for models, charts, posters and ?eld tours. The large number and variety of projects give the teacher ?exibility in choosing these best suited for individual students.
