Review: Great daily dose of science. - This is a great book. It’s engaging and each day is pretty short. It has vocabulary words with definitions and is a good daily dose of science. We are homeschool this year and it’s nice to have a bit of a structured guide telling us where about we should be day by day. If that makes sense. Some days are easy and some harder. Somethings my son knows some he doesn’t. This has also helped to get him interested in other things. I try to switch up science but often end up going back to the solar system so finding some different topics my son wants to learn about is really good. Review: I like it and my son's been doing it. - I like it cuz it gets to the point what you need to learn cuz at this level of science it shouldn't go into too much details that the kids will bored or tired. It gets to the point and easy for kids to remember what they learned. My son usualy do from 3 days to 5 days each one day. When he is done, I will get him Daily science for Grade 4. I bought this book cuz there isn't enough time in public schools to each all that you need to know in elementary schools. This is good supplemental material without boring the kids . This is an expensive way for your kids to learn at home, but your kids need to want to learn. My son is advance and this is easy for him to do ,but he is learning about science. He never need any help with it and understand exactly what is taught. But it does get expensive cuz I have 2 other kids which I will be buying more Evan Moor workbooks. I am all for education.
