Gently introduce science to young learners through this easy-to-use worktext approach. The series is clearly written and offers hands-on activities using household items. Colorful student workbooks contain the teaching information, activities, and review questions. The 2nd edition workbooks offer updated graphics and a few text corrections, along with an updated Teacher Manual providing succinct background information, lesson plans, memory work, and answers. Lessons are scheduled 20 minutes every other day, with encouragement to enjoy related field trips. In grade 3, a suggested weekly schedule is provided with flexibility to pursue topics more in-depth if desired. Where offered an optional Test Pack provides non-reproducible tests and an answer key. Families will appreciate the quality content and affordable price of this well-designed primary science series. Uses NJKV. ~ Deanne
