Customer Reviews

Informative

This book had plenty of information, but no activities. Useful for my elementary age boys to research information, but doesn’t really have any information not already found in the Eyewitness, Hands-On History, or Make It Work books that also come with activities and are a better buy for homeschoolers.

Science in Ancient China

This is book is a good resource for adding history to science.

Science and History for students
