by Crystal Williamson
This lesson is primarily based off of Paul Anderson’s, “The Wonder of Science” website.
The lessons can either be prepared with actual objects with you the teacher instructing or showing the video, and then following up with discussion and hands on discovery thought the use of micro toys, Switch Its or other manipualtives.
