Customer Reviews

Not what I had expected, but not bad either
The drawings in this book are excellent, and perfect for labeling: not too busy and very true-to-life. The book covers a wide variety of biology topics, including the Kingdoms of Life, plant and animal cells, biomes, vertebrates and invertebrates, and life cycles. But I'm puzzled about why it's labeled for grades 5-8. Around here, kids learn about life cycles, food webs, and the parts of a plant in early elementary school. About half of the sheets are on lower elementary topics. Also, the subtitle reads "Activities to Extend and Enhance Science and Biology Studies." These are not extension activities, but very simple labeling worksheets. In this teacher's opinion, copying labels onto a worksheet is not an "activity." There are a handful of charts to fill in, but most of the pages would take about 5 minutes to complete by copying a few words from another source. There's nothing wrong with labeling worksheets, but I was expecting more depth and enrichment based on the subtitle. This book needs to be described differently: it's a worksheet book for elementary grades. If that's what you're looking for, this book is a good choice.
