Maximize learning, while minimizing the demand for equipment
This program presents important science concepts in language that is comfortable for on-level readers, as well as readers who read as much as one year below grade level. Controlled vocabulary, carefully selected illustrations, and meaningful science activities work together to provide a positive learning experience for students.
The student text has three units
Each unit and chapter opens with an appealing photograph and brief text that encourages reflection and discussion. The opening page of each chapter also introduces the large science concepts students will encounter in their reading and activities. Six lessons follow each chapter opener.
A meaningful hands-on activity is included in each chapter; each has been designed to maximize learning while minimizing the demand for equipment.
