Category Description for Spectrum Science
Spectrum Science helps children in grades 3-8 improve their scientific literacy and inquiry skills. Each grade-level workbook contains lessons covering the following topics: science as inquiry, physical science, life science, earth and space science, science and technology, science in personal and social perspectives, and the history and nature of science. Spectrum Science workbooks make an excellent supplement to a primary science curriculum, perfect for both teachers and homeschooling families.
Lesson Format
Lessons within each workbook include a one-page essay or article to read followed by a page of exercise questions. These focus on vocabulary, comprehension, and recall. The questions come in a mix of formats: multiple-choice, short-answer, matching, true/false, and long answer. An article sidebar lists vocabulary words, provides related quotes, and supplies short autobiographical information on the people mentioned in the articles. Some lessons include optional extension activities, such as researching a topic further or doing a hands-on activity related to the lesson.
