Mark Twain Grades 5-8 General Science WorkBook, Solar System, Weather, Energy, Natural Disasters, and Biology Textbook, Classroom or Homeschool Curriculum (Volume 3)

Great review…I wish I ordered it before my son’s 8th grade Science SOL testing

Disappointed with this but only because there's no lesson to go with the questions..Son was frustrated with that so we switched. But it's a good quality book and if you're reviewing certain areas this would be great, even has the answer in the back.

I will put in detail on here in awhile, the book has inaccuracies in some of the lessons, which can frustrate students that are getting the answer 'right'. Other than that...I am glad that it is helping me to learn what would be in the general science curriculum. Those looking for one, I just found CK12, what a God-send! It's free, non-profit and all the info in that book seems to be what's in these lessons. I can NOT believe the current book I have (I'm Christian, if this helps indicate which one I have) has, in some cases, only 20% of the content for most of the chapters. I will say, though, for my Christian book, it 'is' helping me understand concepts more in depth. I think between these, the CK12 site, and the book, I've struck my balance. Though, I can't understand what isn't 'Christian' about being a good steward of the land. Prior to global warming being politicized, we spoke of it with 'no' issue, now, 'oh, let's make up some facts', but that will be under the review for that book. I like these worksheets, they're the best I've found so far.

Mark Twain grades 5 thru 8 General Science....Grandso in 6th grade..Said this was very helpful!

THE AD DOES NOT NEED TO SAY "CURRICULUM." The content looks thorough, but there are no lessons to teach the student what they're actually being asked to answer. It's only worksheets and the students have to have some kind of previous exposure to the content prior to using this book. We've stopped using this after the 2nd activity. Curriculum actually teaches content and then offers some kind of assessment of understanding. I also need open and go and this is not, especially it if we're having to look up termonology online just to answer questions. I also think this is more for early high school level.

Great resource- I use these for warm ups. They take students 5 minutes and I some times use these for exit cards. it helps me get a feel what the students do and don't know. the answers are provided- easy to grade.

This was a great summer review for my daughter. She’s going into 8th so some of the things she didn’t know. I will continue having her use it during the school year. Well worth it!

This is garbage, do not waste your money

Great book, easy for them to do on their own.

This is a great book for learning basic science terms and concepts. I use this in our homeschooling program as it helps me present basic concepts without overloading them.

I do not recommend this book.
