a hearty, hands-on blend of science, math, social studies, language and art.

The good people at TOPS have come up with delightfully integrated activities to exercise imaginations and observation skills, to develop language and number sense. Everything is organized around a box of dry lentils! Set up a learning station in the corner of your room, or integrate this program class-wide. There is plenty of individualized exploration for students at every ability level. Topics include Pour, Search, Compare, Design, Measure, Divide, and Calibrate. Who would have thought you could teach such a range of lessons with these humble seeds?
