A complete course in one source! Ideal for teachers, students, and parents, this series can be used as a standalone resource or a supplement for other science materials, including basals. Each lesson follows the same format, guiding the reader through science concepts in a logical sequence. Because lessons are straightforward and contain all needed information, students can use these books in class or on their own to improve class performance and test scores. Lessons include specific topic instruction, key terms, review activities in standardized test format, and experiment pages. Each book includes a diagnostic assessment, science fair project ideas, glossary, and bound-in answer key. Concepts are correlated to the National Science Education Standards.

Each book is divided into 3 sections: physical science, life science, and earth & space science. An assessment test is included at the beginning of the book which your student should take before starting. This will help determine knowledge of content and where extra practice might be needed. Each book ends with ideas for science fair projects, a glossary of key terms, and an answer key.

Each lesson follows the same format. A list of key terms is given at the beginning of the lesson and then background information on the concept is presented in several small sections. A review exercise is given as multiple-choice questions in standardized test format. Specific activities, experiments, and puzzles add to the fun of learning the concept. There is a reading comprehension activity in which the student reads a passage and answers related questions. Student pages are reproducible for family or classroom use.
