Spectrum Grade 3 Science Workbook, Intro to Scientific Inquiry, Natural, Earth, and Life Sciences With Research Activities, Classroom or Homeschool Curriculum

Challenge but not too hard. You read a short passage and answer questions. This book also has quizzes which help.

Great for my third grader for reading comprehension.

My 8 yo found this book easy as far as lessons. My child liked the format of the various science lessons.

Basic information on most of your Science Material. I wanted something with Review Questions this year for my homeschool lessons. However the information is borderline "DRY" for 3rd grade. The Questions are what you would find in public school traditional science. Which is good for anyone wanting to follow a public school standards, or needs an open and go program for their schedule. In hind sight that is what I was looking for to make sure we were on track and we covered all the basics. But it is a bit of culture shock from more colorful books I had been using before. This would not fit for a monitossory style of school, very little hands on or colorful illustrations. In fact I have used other resources to show better illustrations when covering the information on cells, and atom structure. Good for open and Go. Not recommend for someone who needs more illustrations or hands on science experiments.

My 4th grader got B on his last transcript. We never studied anything Science at home, so I bought this to restart the basics. He was reluctant so I explained he needs to improve his weakness, also I made a deal giving 20 min. ipad time if he finished a page. Now he is eager to work on this, and said this is easy. So after seeing his 5 pages of work, I've ordered 5th Grade book for summer to prep him for next year, Grade 5. It'll be challenge but we have time in summer, so it'll be good exercise. I don't think my entering 3rd Grader can read this workbook. I'm sure she'll hate this. Don't expect kids understand Science if you gave this book. Parents need to check the answers and point out how they can improve the answers and comprehension. If you are not ready for parent/kids Science time, this won't be useful.

These have serve well, over the years we have been using. The exercises are good and with answers. We have recommended to other homeschooling families as well. These qould work well as supplemental item as well to boost better understanding.

We used this for our Science curriculum. It has a lot of great information and is perfect for my 3rd grader. We homeschool and this has been a great resource. The Science standards for this grade level in my state are terrible, so we do this instead and my son loves all the things he has learned.

Hard for 3rd grade kids, the materials are not that much easy to read and follow by a 3rd grade kid.
