This Practical Book accompanies the sold-separately Lower Secondary Science Matters Volume B Textbook and is designed for use within an institutional school setting; it requires common lab equipment and chemicals. Some may be done in a home setting if the proper equipment is purchased; experiments requiring expensive elements can be omitted. Activities provide an opportunity for hands-on learning and encourage good lab practices, safety, conduct, and techniques. A list of skills detail what students need to exhibit in each experiment, such as organizing materials, recording observations and measurements, and handling experimental observations and data.
Each sheet provides the aim of the exercises, apparatus and materials needed, and step-by-step procedure and observations, with charts and diagrams included where necessary. Discussion and extension activities close the exercise with room for students to apply what they've learned. Exercises included in this Volume B book include setting up electrical circuits, investigating osmosis in living creatures by examining onion rings placed in distilled water and sucrose, and more. 108 pages, perforated and three-hole-punched, softcover. Grade 8.
