Durell C. Dobbins, Ph.D.Beginnings Publishing House, Inc.
Serious science is coupled with a light-hearted approach and lots of hands-on activity in The Rainbow, a two-year course targeted at junior high level.
The course is unusual because the text is intended to be used for two years. In the first year, students study physics and chemistry, and in the second year they study biology and applications (applied science).
The Teacher’s Helper is the guide for the text as well as the labs, covering both years.
Dr. Dobbins explains concepts simply, frequently relating them to familiar experiences as he does above. Lessons are presented in small sections—about two pages each—with a few questions following each section. Some questions are simple comprehension questions while others might be used for either discussion or written assignments. The student text is heavily illustrated in full color, so the pages are not crowded with text.
The Teacher’s Helper outlines a schedule for three days per week for 32 weeks per year. It describes the purpose of each lesson, then also provides answer keys, section review quizzes, and troubleshooting ideas in case a lab experiment doesn’t turn out as it should. A separate lab workbook for the student gives detailed and often humorous instructions for a weekly experiment. (Cathy Duffy Reviews)
