What grade level was the Prentice Hall Science Explorer written for?

[Jean in Newcastle]

I'm looking at the "From Bacteria to Plants" book. Are they all written at the same grade level or for different grade levels?

I'm thinking they are at a middle school level. We are currently doing Bacteria to Plants with DS (grade 5). He's doing well with it, but we're not going that deep either. Building Blocks of Matter--or whatever that one was--was more difficult for him last year. He is very science oriented though, so I'm not entirely sure what's "normal."

The series is for 6th-8th graders. Generally the earth science books are easiest and the physical science books are hardest.

Thank you. No wonder dd8 had such a hard time.:crying:

:iagree:

We tried Human Biology and Health in 5th grade, and it became apparent fairly quickly that it was over ds's head. We tried again with Astronomy in 6th and it went well. We used several SE books throughout 6th-8th successfully.

For Sue, or others who have used science explorer...

Did you use the workbook? If so, was it helpful?

This would be for Ds 11 (6th)

Thanks:)

Yes, we did and I thought it was worth the pennies it cost. It helped to reinforce the readings. I have a sample. If you send me an email (not a PM), I will reply with the sample.

 

I wrote about how we used Science Explorer in this thread.

[moki4]

I'm going to read the thread now! You are so helpful:)

[moki4]

how can I get your email? I would like to see a sample page(s). I have looked at amazon with no such luck.

Thanks again,

I am getting sleepy (have a cold, too) so I will check the boards in the morning. Again, thank you!

I used it with my older son and am not using it with the younger one. There is something called the Student Express CD, which cost very little, that I would recommend over the workbook. It has all of the worksheets contained in the workbook as well as additional material, like enrichment activities and sheets that support the labs.

If you click on my name in the top left of this post, you will get popup options. Choose the one that says 'send an email to ...'

moki4,

I got your email, but my reply keeps returning to me? :confused: I sent you a PM.
