I am SO happy I decided to purchase this book. It was full of color and it kept my 10 yr old son's attention. We use it in conjunction with our Science text book to further learn about what we are studying at the time. For example, we were studying cells and we just looked up what they had about cells in the book and it really helped my son understand more about cells. Love it! Would recommend this to homeschooling parents out there who could use this in addition to the actual book. Will be ordering the Geometry one as well!
Oftentimes, in homeschooling, science opportunities present themselves outside of the regular curriculum - field trips, experiment kits from grandma, etc. I find that during those impromptu science lessons, it helps to read about the science topic to build understanding. This science encyclopedia has been a great go-to resource for those readings!Just like the name suggests, it's an encyclopedia. So...all I have to do is browse the table of contents quickly and turn to the appropriate pages for a quick, yet thorough, overview of the topic at hand. Like all DK book, it's VERY visual and colorful to both hold my children's attention and give them high-interest images to associate with the science.In 300+ pages, the encyclopedia covers a lot of scientific ground - matter, materials, forces and machines, energy, light, electricity and magnetism, living organisms, and great discoveries. (There are a few pages that discuss evolution in the living organisms and great discoveries sections.)While I pull this book out myself when I need to fill in lessons with science information, my children pull it out on their own for pleasure reading! It's a winner!
My son has always loved science. He was an early reader and has always been drawn to nonfiction and science based reading. This is a great book with a large variety of intriguing topics. Makes learning facts a whole lot of fun. Nice visual pictures to accompany the text.
My son loves Science and reading. He pointed out to me that on Page 37 under title Metals and sub title "More Valuable than Gold" - Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion is incorrect. It shows 2919 degree Fahrenheit or 1064 degree Celsius. Actually 2919 degree Fahrenheit is equal to 1604 degree Celsius. I hope the publisher will not make such mistakes in the future.
My 12 year old granddaughter loved this book so much that my other granddaughter, 11 years old wanted one also.
great for homeschool!
A wonderful book, full of fun facts for children and grownups to talk about.
Love, love, love this encyclopedia. We use it weekly for mini research topics. Excellent resource for middle school students.
