Terri Johnson demonstrates many fun Halloween science experiments that can be done in the classroom or at home. Make smoke pour out of your pumpkins mouth, use Atomic Glow and dry ice with blacklights, and make Atomic Worms through the science of polymers this year to spice up your Halloween! The Quirkles books are an educational series that offer a fresh new way to integrate literacy and science at school or at home. Each book is full of vocabulary builders, character education lessons, and two related science experiments that allow for hands on activities, helping to reinforce the topics that were just read. The series was created by teachers, and each story teaches/reinforces the phonetic sounds that serve as the building blocks for reading, while also making science--earth, physical, and life--fun to learn.
