Hook Kids on Science with 'Fishy' New Collection

An exciting new development in hands-on education, a New York state company has created a line of products that teach young students about science through itneractive lessons and one on one study. This innovative kit is convenient for teachers to use in the classroom, and fun for students to work with. Use of these kits can revolutionize the way students learn science at the elementary level.

(PRWEB) January 14, 2007 -- Introducing Tackling Science, an innovative, new product line available exclusively from SK Elementary. Tackling Science is an exciting new approach to hands-on learning that helps young students tackle the toughest topics with ease. Al-'lure'-ing manipulatives and fun activities in one cute package lead students through fundamental science lessons. Released as part of the 2007 SK K-6 Catalog, the Tackling Science Kits will be available for purchase beginning in January. The teacher developed line has received enthusiasm from educators, students, and merchandisers alike. Its introduction is sure to revolutionize individual learning in the classroom.

Developed by elementary teacher, Teresa Harris Matherne, all Tackling Science Kits contain everything you need to tackle a variety of hands-on activities focusing on a specific subject of science or math study. A student journal, reusable laminated student guide, colorful manipulatives, and all activity supplies are packaged in a stackable tackle box. All activities require direct student involvement, so the children learn through interaction and self-discovery - a learning method proven to increase information retention and understanding. The boxes are sized so students can handle each easily and even use them independently at home or in classroom science centers. Topics range from weather and properties of acids and bases to mathematic calculation and characteristics of rocks. Easily integrated into any program, these inquiry-based learning kits are ideal for students in grades 2-4. Another advantage of these interactive science explorations is their ability to prepare students for the NCLB 2007 testing. When it's time for the test, students don't have to 'fish' for answers. They can readily recall information from their self-guided, hands-on learning with Tackling Science kits.

Tackling Science is one of SK Elementary's exclusive Teacher Developed, Classroom Tested product lines. Designed by teachers and proven successful in their own classrooms and labs, these activities, demonstrations, and apparatus are tested for quality, accuracy, and repeatability by SK's own Product Development staff and Professional Quality Assurance Team. The topic-based activities also allow for instructional versatility within the same lesson and save educators time in planning.

Science Kit Elementary offers interactive 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.
