Science was my weakest subject. How I wish this compendium had been available. It would have been helpful to me as a student and a welcome tome in my arsenal as a teacher. I really love charts and graphs, and concise explanations. All the better to find them in a single resource. A+!
Really great overview of biology, geology, chemistry, astronomy, and physics! Very useful from middle school through high school, and maybe as a bit of a refresher in college.
Where were you, science book, when I went through three years of middle school science?
*sigh*
This is a book every middle schoolers need. Even if you're the smartest kid in class, there were a lot of mnemonics that were super helpful. It took me a while to get through it but I wanted something to refresh my mind while I head into high school.
Great book!

SO INFORMATIVE
Really great for a quick review
This was a great quick read for my 13year-old to review all science topics ahead of a big test ! He enjoyed the book while studying and reviewing !

Great resource for any middle school science teacher. Serves as a quick refresher and immediate go-to. Simple explanations with relevant examples.
Good book, you must read it
I'm generally a big fan of the "Everything you need" series. They cover the important principles and topics, and are great surveys for kids around grade 6 to 8. That's true of this book as well. The topics range from scientific method to Chemistry, Physical Science, Astronomy, Earth Science, Taxonomy, Human Biology, and Ecology. But it really could use some editorial revision.

I loved this book because it taught me many facts about science. Finally, I got to know and memorize some of the periodic tables. I, a kid that doesn't really like rereading a book multiple times, read this a total of 4 times. So, this proves to me that this book is fun and educative. For me, this book was kind of a cheat key in science review because it is based on all the science that we need to learn. I suggest you read it if you are nervous about your test scores or want to know more about s

I teach Middle School science and absolutely recommend this book as a good reference book for students. It is well done, visually appealing, and focuses on the key details about the topics covered. The one caveat I will mention is the book tends to focus more on surface level facts over deep critical thinking, not surprising as it comes from the makers of Brain Quest (plus really getting into the deeper critical thinking is hard in a basic reference book). As such I wouldn't look at this as an a

VERY informative! I love these kinds of books since they teach you a lot! From natural disasters to the human body to the solar system, this book is the ULTIMATE STUDY GUIDE! Even though I'm not in middle school, I still understood this! It helped me through a quite a bit through science class, like where we did a sketchnote/mind-map on natural disasters and how they're made, and I had to find out how a huricane was made, and It also taught me the periodic table of elements! Thanks for making th

Wish I could have used this in junior high.
Must read for science students.

Nice organization and it covers many of the middle school science topics. There’s one unit covering some science basics (measurement, lab reports, conducting experiments, etc.), one on basic chemistry, two on physical science, one on astronomy, one on earth science, and five on various aspects of the life sciences. It’s definitely not enough to cover all of middle school science, but it’s a good overview. For a student struggling with the textbook, this may be all the extra help they need. It do

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO ACE...IN ONE BIG BOOK (the series):
I LOVE these books. They are great as a tool to supplement traditional learning or for homeschoolers (that's what we are using it for). The topics are comprehensive and the style is wonderful for middle schoolers - it provides an interesting format for students that rivals the traditional textbook, but without a loss to the content. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend these books !!! ...more

bought this book for my grandson who is a freshman in high school and thinks he might be a robotic engineer...some of this information about how to develop an idea along with mistakes will be perfect for him..I like how this is formatted...can read a small chapter and then stop...hope he likes it as much as I do.
I love this book! It is a great resource for teachers and students. I love how each concept is broken down. It makes it so easy for students to read and understand. I am a sucker for great charts, and this book definitely has them! It features every basic science concept students will need for middle school and beyond. I am so happy that I purchased this book!
for me, I loved this book because it gave such detailed explanations of the subjects that the book had talked about. it really, in my opinion, does stay true to its title and has a bit of extra. also for me, this book is science class but fun and relaxing. I rate this book 5 stars because of the intricate way it explains science.
Used this book to study for my Praxis II exam for MS Science. I found it to be extremely useful. The authors broke down large concepts into easily accessible bits. Some of the topics I haven’t touched on since high school (Physics, Chemistry) so it was nice to review through the quizzes at the end of each chapter.
The smart kid gives you their notebook, I love it
This book is advertised for middle schoolers, I would suggest to not listen to that advertisement. I been able to use this book for college and work as well if needed be. It’s helpful that you can work out different assignments. You just got to make sure to know the name of the topics you are doing.

I absolutely love this book. I use it with my home-schooled granddaughters who are 7 and 9 and got ideas for the science fair. It is very simply, though thoroughly, written and easy to understand. I will be purchasing the ones for the other subjects as well.
It was teaching me lots of facts about science and preparing me for the future for science classes. It has fun pictures and describes the information. The vocabulary is easy to understand and its really helpful for middle school. (The title of course).
I don't feel like you need to give them access to you gmail account I feel like we should just be able to read it I need it for my class and you guys wont let me because you have to log into my gmail account and I don't feel like that is right

This is an encyclopedia for middle school students. I learn and understand very well science lessons through humorous narratives and funny doodles and memoirs. I think I am going to be a scientist in the future.
Excellent book
I just browsed the whole Kindle version with my daughter. We finished it in less than an hour. It really simplified everything that you can learn about science. I will be buying a physical copy for my daughter.

Learned a great deal about science, thanks to this novel. Really opened my perspective on science as well!
Concise, well-organized and at times funny. What's not to like ?
