Melissa in NC Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I asked the author of ClassiQuest to include the ISBN for the recommended books. She answered me quickly and gave me permission to repost this to the list. ___________________________________________________________ Thank you for the excellent question which I hadn't anticipated, but should have. :-) I think I once read that these reference works don't change considerably from edition to edition, but I can't find that in my notes. I've included the ISBNs of the issues I used for development of the Study Guides, which are also the ones we are currently using in our homeschool. For The Usborne Internet-Linked Science Encyclopedia, I accidentally bought the UK version listed below. The only consequence to our education is that my daughter now knows some of the differences between American and British English, which I consider a benefit! There is a new (January 2011) version of that work, and since they didn't have the Look Inside or Search Inside features activated on Amazon, I've ordered a copy. I can apprise you of any significant changes if you wish. Reference Works: The Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia ISBN-10: 9780753458860 ISBN-13: 978-0753458860 Encyclopedia of Science, DK Publishing ISBN-10: 0756622204 ISBN-13: 978-0756622206 The Usborne Internet-Linked Science Encyclopedia I accidentally bought the 2002//UK version, which is: ISBN-10: 0746053606 ISBN-13: 978-0746053607 the new January 2011 version, which I have just ordered, does not have "Internet-Linked" in its title: ISBN-10: 079453046X ISBN-13: 978-0794530464 or you might find a used copy of the 2003 version: ISBN-10: 0794503314 ISBN-13: 978-0794503314 The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Science (3 books in 1 volume for 3 years of the Logic Stage; contains The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Biology, The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Chemistry and The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Physics) ISBN-10: 9780794518479 ISBN-13: 978-0794518479 alternatively you may wish to use The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Biology (1 year only) ISBN-10: 9780794515591 ISBN-13: 978-0794515591 Books used for labs: Biology for Every Kid, VanCleave, Janice ISBN-10: 0471503819 ISBN-13: 978-0471503811 Uncover a Tarantula book/model, Silver Dolphin Books ISBN-10: 9781592232376 ISBN-13: 978-1592232376 Uncover a Frog book/model, Silver Dolphin Books ISBN-10: 9781592234561 ISBN-13: 978-1592234561 Uncover a Cobra book/model, Silver Dolphin Books ISBN-10: 1592233767 ISBN-13: 978-1592233762 I hope this information is helpful.
