Comprehensive, affordable and effective, Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) Kits provide an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to teaching a specific science topic through the use of activities and investigative equipment. Delta Science Modules Properties Complete Kit helps students to explore and develop the capacity to classify and sort by color, size, shape and texture with the use of their hands and eyes. They will work with balances and other equipment to compare and contrast objects by weight, buoyancy, magnetic attraction, and material composition. As students practice distinguishing and grouping objects, they will also build two vital vocabulary skills: describing and explaining.
Along with the kit activities, the Properties Delta Science First Reader will further introduce students to the concept of matter and some of the properties that distinguish one object from another. They will: read about the properties of solids, liquids, and gases; observe that some objects sink while others float and that some objects are magnetic while others are not magnetic; discover about how a geologist uses properties in her work; and read about how water can change.
Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) consist of a total of 59 assorted kits ranging from Grade K to 8 levels, each with a step-by-step teacher guide, student readers, 12-14 interconnected activities, and enough equipment to serve up to 32 students. Select kits also contain a pre-paid coupon for Living materials. Educators have the flexibility to have students follow the detailed activities that are provided, or customize their own curriculum plan with the equipment provided.
