Everything You Need to Ace Science in One Big Fat Notebook: The Complete Middle School Study Guide

This book provides a great overview of general science content. I have been encouraging the use of this book by adult learners who are studying to take elementary education science content exams. While this is not a specific test prep resource, the way content is organized and summarized provides a solid review of information to jog their memory and refresh their skills.

This book is very creative and interesting and really explains things in a way that I can have great discussions with my grandkids about each page. I'm learning a ton, since I was not into science and feel like I can actually ask good questions to get them thinking as we read this book. I have them read it to me and then discuss. There are questions at the end of each section and answers are on the next page. It explains each process, step by step, is colorful, easy to read and has a GREAT overview of everyday science vocabulary. I highly recommend this book to those who want a good basis for scientific process and vocabulary. It covers an overview of all the different science categories, scientific investigations from ecology, outer space, engineering to human biology and more. It doesn't go into detail, but wets the appetite with good explanations of each type of science.

Been having a hard time looking for a specific reference book for my 5th Grader's Science learning at local Middle school. The Science subject this year, however, is somewhat challenging - most of students are being pressurized to expand their own vocabulary bank (jargons and terminologies in terms of general physics, chemistry, astrology and biology); some of them also struggle with visualizing the 'concept' that is introduced by the teacher; the biggest problem is that they need to cultivate and continuously strengthen a series of study habits, including chapter preview prior to the class, even given the fact that no officially assigned textbook to them yet. Therefore, in my opinion, this Science Notebook serves the purpose by bridging the gap in this dilemma - which is to introduce and highlight the key points of each sub-subject of ‘Science’ and guide students to do further research based on each chapter before and after the class. I would recommend this Science book for 5th Graders, however please also extend after-school research on each Science topic on a daily basis, 10-20 minutes would be perfect.

Great book. Attractive enough to make you want to pick it up and read it. The graphics are colorful, the font is clear, and the highlights and titles are in bold print. Chapters are color coded. Check Your Knowledge questions and answer page included. Contents list all the units and it's coverage. What makes this book stand out from all the others is that it includes all the important information broken down in easy to understand text and simple to read maps. It's all you need to know and that's it. There are a total of 5 subjects in this series: they include Math, Science, English Language Arts, World History, American History in the series and we have all of them. This is definitely worth the investment. Parents will find this book and series simple to explain to your child and/or read with them. Nothing complicated. Buy this book and the others in the series. I highly recommend it.

very informational

I think this would be something good for adults to read also who would like a short summary on a subject without going into a lot of detail.

We got these books for our kid. My kid loves these books and covered great topics and we got computer science and math books from this brand.

I purchased this book for my daughter who is going into the 7th grade and it is even better than we'd hoped. The book is full of clear, concise information written at grade level and presented in a fun, easy to use fashion. There are plenty of detailed explanations coupled with fun illustrations, graphs, and overviews. The book covers a wide variety of science and based on what was covered in my daughter's science class last year, the information lines up just about exactly. What I like most is how engaged she is with the book. She finds the information she needs easily and it is detailed but brief, much better than a questionable google search for sure. The author and designer of this book went to a lot of trouble to understand what would interest, compel and educate a modern middle schooler. This complete set is a must have for any middle school household.

Era un regalo

Livlentro excee, estou muito satisfeita pois o livro chegou em ótimo estado e antes do prazo de entrega <3

Wonderful book! Drawings and tables in this book are all well depicted and easy to comprehend.

Toso ok

I ordered this book expecting a typical used copy, but it arrived looking absolutely brand new—no creases, no markings, not even a hint of wear. It was in such pristine condition, I had to double-check it was actually listed as “used”! My middle schooler has the full collection and was thrilled to add this one. He reads and refers to it often, and it’s quickly become one of his favourite.
