Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Critters (AIMS Life Science Activities)
AIMS Education Foundation · 1992
80/100
👍 Worth It
A genuinely documented classroom resource: AIMS Education Foundation's K-6 life-science activity book — 39 hands-on lessons with mealworms, earthworms, snails, and isopods, each with materials lists, procedures, and reproducible worksheets (it even lives in ERIC, the federal education database). Our catalog had the editor credited as author; the real credit is the AIMS team. For teachers and homeschoolers who want kids handling real critters instead of watching videos about them, this is the good stuff. Worth it.
