Contains 36 lessons, each four pages in length. The lessons are designed for multi-day instruction. Lessons are designed to model the way scientific study works in high school or college laboratory classes and beyond. Students begin with a hands-on activity that introduces a fundamental scientific principle, then record and analyze their findings. The worktext provides space for your children to write their own responses to questions, keep notes, and journal about their observations. Finally, the lessons conclude with a multiple-choice assessment quiz (included in the Level D Teacher Guidebook - sold as part of A Reason for Science Level D Set) to demonstrate mastery of the concepts and help aid long-term retention.
