This user-friendly, unabashedly Christian, one-year science
curriculum for elementary students includes teaching lessons, gorgeous
coloring pages, hands-on time, memorization lists, review sheets, creative
writing assignments, and an awesome supplemental book list! Written for 3rd
through 6th graders, it can easily be scaled down for younger students,
making this an excellent choice for teaching all your elementary-aged kids
together. The schedule of 35 weekly lessons calls for teaching twice

especially useful for those following a classical approach!

I think this book is a good idea, it's just not my teaching style.

Every day read a bit and have some questions or vocab or something. There are activities throughout and most of them are fairly easy and don't require a ton of time or money. It's well-written but not "the best".

I thought we needed to study things more in-depth than this so IF I had used it I would have added a ton of other books to supplement. But I bought it, reviewed it and knew it wouldn't work for me.

I think the best thing about this book is the section at the end which lists a TON of movies and books to go along with each of the sections. It's very extensive and almost worth the price of the book for that alone.

I do think this is a good program, but I do think you need to preview it before you buy to make sure it fits your style.

I'm teaching my li'l sibs out of this book, it makes it a LOT easier then just getting something off the internet. And its easy to understand.
