Key Ideas  
  • The Whelmers activities were developed by Steven Jacobs, science teacher and popular host of TV's "Jake's Attic." Whelmers are not meant to replace science curriculum, but to be used as an exciting introduction to an inquiry-based, hands-on program.  

  • Each activity has been correlated by McREL with key sections of NRC's National Science Education Standards at the K-4, 5-8, and 9-12 grade levels.  Tips on assessment help you track student progress.

  • Each activity is accompanied by a supply list, detailed instructions for presenting the demonstration, correlations to standards, assessment guidelines, and additional science content.
