Teaching science to 1st through 6th graders was one of the more fun aspects of homeschooling. Combine natural curiosity with exciting subject matter and science time at home is awesome! We kept this book close by through those years and consulted it constantly as we worked through our science units.

Whether you use notebooking, lapbooking, textbooking, or no-booking, this volume has tons of resources. Topics covered include:

• Life Science, including plants, land, invertebrates, ocean invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, mammals, prehistoric animals, and the human body

• Physical Science, including magnets, electricity, day and night, light, sound, matter, energy, and simple machines

• Earth Science, including land forms, weather, air, water, and rocks

• Space Science, including moon phases, stars, eclipses, and the solar system

• Environmental Science, including habitats (rainforest, desert, savanna, pond, ocean, polar regions), endangered animals, and recycling

This valuable resource includes hundreds of reproducible picture cards, diagrams, student activity sheets, and graphic organizers. The black-and-white line art is crisp to copy and perfect for coloring or decorating. The graphic organizers include Venn diagrams, outline forms, note-taking forms, report forms, writing webs, and a world map.

Some brief text, although not comprehensive, accompanies each topic. For a deeper coverage of each topic, you would need to supplement with a traditional textbook or library books.

There is much to learn and do in this book! Make some copies, get your scissors, art supplies and folders or notebooks, and get going! For a small investment in the cost of this book, your family will have a science adventure!
