Stretch Your Dollar With NSTA's The Frugal Science Teacher: Strategies and Activities

ARLINGTON, Va., May 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Science teachers on a limited budget will enjoy two new collections of inspiring articles and chapters from NSTA's award-winning publications that outline creative strategies to keep expenses low while increasing student understanding of science concepts. Two volumes, one for preK–5 teachers and another for grades 6–9 teachers, provide a host of ideas for approaching projects that school and district budgets can't — or won't — cover.

The articles selected by editor Linda Froschauer suggest new and untapped resources for obtaining materials, re-imagined uses for items teachers already have at home or school, and inexpensive alternatives to costly projects. Creative activities and lessons enhance teachers' abilities to conduct science investigations at minimum cost. Teachers will also find ideas for further reading to expand on some ideas and a comprehensive list of the many free resources available from the National Science Teachers Association.

"You may not save hundreds of dollars a year by following the recommendations found in this book," writes Froschauer, a retired classroom teacher of 35 years. "You will, however, find creative ways to keep expenses down and stretch your funds while building student understanding."

About the Editor

Linda Froschauer has more than 30 years of experience teaching science and has served in several leadership roles within the educational community, including as NSTA President.
