This second edition of Marvin N. Tolman's bestselling book Hands-On Life Science Activities for Grades K-6 offers compelling activities that help teach students thinking and reasoning skills along with basic science concepts and facts. The book's activities follow the discovery/inquiry approach and encourage students to analyze, synthesize, and infer based on their own hands-on experiences. This new edition includes an expanded "Teacher Information" section, and increased emphasis on collaboration, shared observations, and writing. It includes inquiry-based models and cooperative learning projects using materials easily found in the classroom or around the home. Many of the activities can easily become great science fair ideas, and lessons and activities are correlated with national science standards.

Designed to be user friendly, the book is organized into seven sections and printed in a lay-flat format.

  • Living Through Adaptation
  • Animals
  • Growing and Changing
  • Plants and Seeds
  • Body Systems
  • The Five Senses
  • Health and Nutrition
