We are in the midst of redoing our web site and parts of it are broken and with no navigation or too many top navigation borders that mean you have to scroll down to get to the page content. We are fixing it as fast as we can, and beg your patience. Using the back button sometimes helps. If you can't find what you need, please use our site with shopping cart at www.barbsteachinghelp.com

Great Science Adventures is an incredible value. Each book contains 24 lessons and all you need to teach them, with 2-3 lessons completed each week. The unique format contains activities and basic content appropriate for grades K through 8. It is perfect for multilevel teaching or if you want to challenge your advanced students individually. You will not find this amount of value in a single science book anywhere else.

In each lesson, students make a Lots of Science Library Book using the masters provided inside.  For lab activities an exclusive Investigative Loop process is taught. There are complete and clear directions, a materials, list, questions to ask, and data for students to record. 3-D Graphic Organizers help simplify complicated material by breaking it down into visual parts. (Instructions are given for making these.) The Teacher Pages include vocabulary words, concept maps, assessments, assignments for all grade levels, and enrichment activities.

To see the books in this series, cover art, author information, sample, lessons, and table of contents, I'm going to send you to a site at Common Sense Press where you can find all the information you need to decide if this is for you. No sense in my duplicating their work here. You might want to bookmark this page now, for easy return if you look at a lot of pages. Or you can just keep clicking  the back button to return to our site. You can pop up an email now to inquire about availability of titles you want to order, and I'll send you order and availability information. Then you don't need to worry so much about the back button if you get lost. Just cut and paste the titles you want into the email .

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail (barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net), since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
