Description/Notes
An interesting collection of games, experiments, and activities that illustrate various principles of science and are fun to perform. Here, science comes out of the lab and into every child's real world. Discover how plants perform photosynthesis; learn how Mother Nature turns trees to stone. Fifty projects using materials found around the house. Explains the advantages of using the box offense which, when properly executed, can pressure an opposing team into submission. Along with a written explanation of box offense strategies are hundreds of diagrams illustrating plays that can be used on fast breaks, against zone and man-to-man defensive sets, and in other special situations. Brown concludes with some tips on scouting other teams and what to look for when preparing for an opponent. Kids explore mechanical action, the senses, water and air, the human body, plants, animals, and the earth through creative experiences including crafts, games, experiments, and more. Learning and hands-on fun are one and the same!
