The birds are chirping and the sun is shining – we’re going to see some flowers soon!    

There isn't much money left in most 2014-2015 science department budgets.  For inexpensive chemistry lab ideas, buy my lab book Chemistry on a Budget for $20.56 at amazon.com or $23 at lulu.com. It will take a few weeks to get to you, so order now!

This book contains 13 labs using consumable materials purchased from local stores.  There are two versions of each lab, one with a ten-question conclusion and one with directions for a full lab report.  This way the teacher has the option!  Each lab is two pages to allow for one two-sided handout.
 

I realized this week that your school library can be a very useful resource.  I realize it’s late in the school year, but you can stop by and start checking out what’s available. 

Talk to your school’s librarian – they are very helpful and will suggest resources for you to investigate. 

Some school libraries have a room with a class set of computers that can be signed out.  If you have websites you want to students to visit, or a WebQuest (http://webquest.org/) that you want them to complete, this could be a great class session! 

You may be able to reserve books for your students to use – perhaps they are researching the discovery of elements or biographies of scientists. 

Investigate what’s available on the shelves – you might find a hidden treasure.  This includes videos!   

Also, the library might be able to record local public television shows (sometimes overnight).  Check it out!  And, go online to check out the local public television station's schedule.

And, of course, speak to your fellow science teachers to see if they utilize the library facilities or if they  have any recommendations.

I’d love to hear of your experiences and successes! 

Remember, you can check out the Topic List to help you to find past Blog entries.  

Have a good weekend!
