Briefly described are 25 "hands on" classroom activities which require live, freshly killed, or preserved grasshoppers. Topics of activities include predator-prey relationships, feeding habits, locomotion, dissection, anatomy, and population estimates. (DS)

Six major concepts of science are illustrated through the use of simple, easily equipped hands-on activities. Included in each activity are a list of materials, procedures, questions for students, and suggested discussion. Aquatic acoustics are highlighted. (CW)

Science activities with soap bubbles for primary school children are described in this article. Another activity involves children in determining the whereabouts of sugar as it dissolves in water. (SA)

Discussed are the advantages and processes of making collections with children. An activity for making a classroom collection (herbarium folios) is described and includes materials and procedures. The processes of collecting and classifying are stressed. (CW)

Presents three experiments that provide examples of how plants modify their surroundings and create microenvironments. Examples demonstrate (1) how types of ground cover influence water quality; (2) how plants can create a thermal microenvironment; and (3) how plants can serve as barriers to wind. (MDH)
