This Bundle inclues Teacher's Manual, Student Textbook and Lab Workbook.
Students will look at the question, "What is Science?" while covering topics such as: atoms, molecules, types of energy, the earth's layers, earth in space, our solar system, cells, viruses and bacteria, classification and more.
Introduce kids to real science. Foundational scientific concepts and terminology are made easy to understand. Year-long curriculum has 4 chapters each of 5 scientific disciplines (chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy). Full color textbook with many graphics to reinforce the concepts presented and make the book fun to read.
At the younger grades, this yearlong program includes three books a student text, lab workbook, and teacher manual. Student Texts vary in length and are divided into five topical areas Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Geology, and Astronomy; the topics are then divided into four chapters each, for a total of 22 chapters per book (introductory and concluding chapters round out the total). The book is printed in full color and incorporates the same adorable illustrations and characters found in the Focus on Science series, but these take each topic to greater depth. Each chapter is divided into numbered sections, and each could be used as one daily lesson. The number of sections vary by chapter from four to eight. Textual information is printed in a larger font for easy reading, there is plenty of white space so your visual learners won't be overwhelmed, and new vocabulary words are printed in red. The very last lesson of each chapter is a summary, so that students can review all of the information for that chapter.
The Laboratory Notebook is a very important part of the program. This consumable book offers 44 experiments intended to complement the chapters found in the student text. Each experiment is divided into five steps to help students with the scientific process. Step one is 'Think About It,' and students are asked to write down what they think will happen in the experiment (hypothesis). Step two is 'Observe It,' in which students are asked to write down details about what they see happening. Step three is 'What Did you Discover,' where students are asked to answer some questions concerning their experiment. Step four is 'Why?' and offers a brief discussion on the topic of the experiment and what you might have observed. 'Just for Fun' is step five and has an extra activity or experiment for the student to do (these experiments are included in the total of 44 experiments). The black and white pages of the lab notebook are formatted for students to fill in the information as they work through the activity or experiment and permission is given for photocopying within a family.
The Teacher's Manual is a guide to the experiments found in the lab notebook. A complete materials list (items from your home or easily accessible) is given at the front of the book for convenience of preparing. Listed for each experiment is the materials list, objectives, and additional information for each step of the experiment given in the lab notebook. The experiments can usually be done in an hour or less
Introduce early learners to real science with the Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 1 Student Textbook. Foundational scientific concepts and terminology are presented clearly and in a manner that’s easy for kids to understand. Using this book gives kids a solid base on which to build a further study of science. This year-long curriculum contains four chapters of each of five scientific disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy, as well as an introduction to the material covered and a concluding chapter for a total of 22 chapters. The many graphics in this full color textbook reinforce the concepts presented and make the book fun for kids and teachers alike to read.
