A complete science curriculum that can be used to teach students in grades K-8 simultaneously, there are ten different titles in the series. You should be able to complete two books per school year.
Titles come under the headings earth, life, or physical science, so if you have only a few years to use these you should select titles to ensure that you are covering all three areas. Available titles:
Discovering the Human Body and Senses
Discovering Atoms, Molecules, and Matter
The World of Plants
The World of Tools and Technology
The World of Space
The World of Insects and Arachnids
The World of Light and Sound
Discovering Earth's Landforms and Surface Features
Discovering the Ocean
The World of Vertebrates
A substantial portion of each book consists of pages to be cut and put together as small booklets that contain subject matter information to be learned. Along with creation of the booklets, other hands-on activities help make this a good choice for students who like an "arts and crafts" approach to learning.
