They adapt well to classroom use, home schooling situations, and learning centers that encourage the development of independent skills. Each activity unit is 2-4 pages in length. The first page includes the following: Your Experience: This helps the student relate the concept introduced to real life; Let's Explain It: This is a short explanation of the real world experience and a simple introduction to the concept; Try This: This has the instructions for the experiment or activity to be done and recorded on the pages that follow; You'll Need: This is the list of materials needed to complete the activity;  Things to Think About: These thought and discussion prompts encourage critical thinking; Words to Know: Includes a list of relevant vocabulary.

The other pages in the activity unit provide students with the opportunity to practice the skill before using it in the real world. Topics include carbonation, elasticity, mold, air pressure, bees and pollen, birds, spider webs, electricity, batteries, detergents, water vapor, perspiration, absorption, evaporation, static electricity, seeds, erosion, frozen liquids, liquid density, nerve endings, heart rate, sound waves, leaves, cold-blooded animals, snail trials, natural defense, animal comparisons, gravity, clouds, taste buds, shadows, and breath. There are also literature links, instructions for setting up real world science centers, and instructions for student real world science journals.; ISBN: 1564721744
