Customer Reviews

A book I reviewed for The Home School Manual

Interesting facts of science such as how many bones there are in the human body, what black holes are, and the life cycle of a fern. The book is well written for kids 8 to 12. Each of the ten areas covered is simply and coherently developed. This 128 page book presents a good background of science for the middle grades and includes interesting illustrations of the principles. Unfortunately for those of us who accept the biblical record, the book explains that life started billions of years ago after the earth was formed. The concept of evolution, however, does not seem to color the rest of the book. Topics are the physical world, chemistry, earth, the atmosphere, water, plants, animals, ecology, the human body, and space.
