Prentice Hall Science Explorer: Astronomy

Shipper delivered as advertised. Publisher does a nice job of compiling information and using on-line activities, however I would skip Chapter 2 on Exploring Space until end of book/lesson plan as it only serves to distract the students from the subject.

I teach Physics and General Science at a highly regarded Catholic girls' Prep School here on the island of Guam. Over 99% of our graduates go on to college. For the Freshman General Science classes, I am using the Prentice Hall "Science Explorer" series, and am highly impressed. Explanations are complete yet concise. Illustrations are appropriate, plentiful, and of excellent quality. Suggested lab activities are reasonable in terms of being age appropriate and not requiring outlandish quantities of expensive and rare lab equipment. While these might seem to be minimal expectations, many science texts I have encountered do not manage to pull off any of the three. I love, use, and highly recommend the texts Inside Earth, Astronomy, Human Biology and Health, Ecology, Weather and Climate, and Forces and Motion from this series.Kelly Fitzpatrick Paradise, Guam
