(PRWEB) June 23, 2006 -- Science Kit Elementary will revolutionize the way elementary teachers teach. SK Elementary created a new product line of education solutions which integrate various subject study areas into one cohesive lesson. The activities are easy for teachers to use and fun for students to do and cover a wide variety of topics from space to the rainforest.

The latest trend in elementary education involves cross-curricular studies, a movement to integrate a number of subject areas into the same lesson plan. This revolutionary approach to learning has been studied and perfected by the learning material experts at Science Kit Elementary. Using a combination of children’s literature, hands-on activities, and colorful manipulatives, SK Elementary fashioned an exclusive line of Across the Curriculum Kits. The new, all-inclusive Across the Curriculum Kits present cross-curricular activities encompassing English, language arts, reading, writing, art, math, science and social studies all related to the same original topic addressed in the kit’s books and literature. The kits save teachers time spent lesson planning, because each includes everything needed to lead the class in a series of activities. Easy for teachers to use, Across the Curriculum Kits also excite children about learning and increase their information retention. Allowing children to use their knowledge of a topic in various subject areas ensures a thorough understanding that they can also apply to future studies.

Across the Curriculum Kits are available in two varieties -- an elementary science focused line and an Author Study Kit collection. Using the science books in combination with the included manipulatives will translate a lesson in weather elements, space or the rainforest into a number of different subject areas. Special Author Study Kits featuring the literature of beloved children’s authors, Jan Brett, Leo Lionni, and Eric Carle include lessons that implement renowned artistry and famed characters of popular books from the featured authors. Children enjoy building on their reading experience with extended experiments and projects that encourage hands-on participation and critical thinking. Designed by teachers to meet National Standards, each kit contains lesson plans for 12 specially developed activities, which can be completed in the order presented or rearranged to best the teacher’s unique curriculum.

Science Kit Elementary offers hands-on instructional materials for teaching the foundations of science, reading, and math. Helping teachers teach and students learn, SK Elementary products are designed to easily implement curriculum standards and provide engaging activity supplements to lessons. Founded in 1956 by science teachers, Gustave and Jane Koch, Science Kit is a leading provider of educational tools and resources that maximize teaching effectiveness.
