Boring and Simple
My children 2nd and 4th grade both found this to be very simple and it did not hold their interest. My second grader kept saying "why do they keep telling us that. We understand." As a teacher I found it lacking in many ways. It only has cartoon pictures (they look like clip art) and the font is out dated.

For the price you could find something that is more informative and engaging.

Pure science
Children and I very much like this science program. It is straight to the point. Unlike other books that include hundreds pages on non-science information (authors' opinions, worldviews, etc) Focus on Science teaches SCIENCE. It is similar to programs they use in countries where children score highest in math and science.

Why did you choose this?

Loved our Focus on Biology last year! Great lessons and easy to use and understand!

supplemental curriculum

No one else teaches Science as scientific concepts as easily and systematically to young kids as Dr. Rebecca Keller! We love RS4K.

The program has great reviews on youtube so going to try it out.
