It's a longtime top-seller that families love, especially for kids who enjoy facts. Instead of long, flowing informational lessons, the pages are more diagram-based with engaging little tidbits of information that make learning feel bite-sized and fun. Throughout the unit, students focus on the scientific method in their Student Books, trying experiments and walking through the steps to reinforce how real science works. It's hands-on, memorable, and a fantastic way to build confidence with observation and analysis. The writing project is expository writing. Younger students work through brainstorming, rough drafts, editing, and a final presentation as they write a nonfiction paragraph. Older students learn the difference between expository and persuasive writing and practice formatting titles and citing sources, perfect for reinforcing research skills and proper citation. The unit is designed to cover all your subjects (math available separately). This listing is for the printed books. If you prefer a digital option, a digital version is available separately.
