Harcourt School Publishers Science: Student Edition Grade 2 2000

I read the textbook when I was in elementary and had to get the it for my son. I love it 5 stars +

This was my grandsons Science Book in school. One day I was looking through his books and liked this one so well I wanted to keep it and read it all. It's very interesting. Did I learn all of that when I was in school? I don't think so. When I found this book I decided to buy it so I could study it at a Grandma's pace.

Unlike most science books out there, this one covers ALL the ground, from basic cell structure, to plant life, ecological systems, physics and chemistry. It is written in a VERY easy to read format with lots of extras, ideas for simple experiments and observations that can be made in your own home. For the home school parent or like me, the parent trying to educate their child in a failing school district, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. This is a hardback book with ample questions that can be answered by the student to make sure they did more than "skim the chapter." There is plenty of application knowledge and observational studies. Filled with bright and colorful drawings and pictures my son is actually excited about learning for the first time!
