Comprehensive *and* Beautiful
After reviewing a half-dozen science curricula for my home-schooled elementary-age kids, I couldn't find one that I really liked. So I decided to design my own curriculum using this book for source material. Key things that I like: - the book is very comprehensive. It is divided into major themes (Materials, Mixtures & Compounds, Energy/Forces/Motion, Earth & Space, Light/Sound/Electricity, Plants, Animals, Human Body) that make it easy to design a curriculum around it. We have started with Plants, and love it so far (science is my kids' favorite subject); - the quality of the content is very high; - it has internet-linked images and sites so that I can easily make my own hand-outs, and expand on topics when I want to; - it suggests simple experiments to support the learning objectives; and - (as with all Usborne books) the pictures are beautiful! The hard-cover binding is good, but I'm not sure how well it will hold up for the expected 2-3 years of frequent use that it will get. But for the price, I'm still very pleased. Bottom line: Highly recommended both for homeschooling and for science-loving kids (roughly ages 6-10).

Appealing w/o being overwhelming
Good for todayโs students who have a naturally short attention span and are more attracted to visual stimuli. Informative w/o being intimidating for the recommended age group.

What an amazing science learning companion! The QR codes with videos my kids love and really help them grasp the concept.

Good Childrens Encyclopedia
Good book, only issue I had with it is the information is too brief. Great as a starting point for researching more in depth info. Love the links though. I can't say to many bad things, Usborne World History is my favorite book for our Homeschool. I just expected the Usborne Science to be just as great.

A great collection of basic science
Bought it for my 7 year old child for his request. He can't put it down. If there's anything he can't understand we go through it together. An amazing collection of basic science book.
