Mr. Definition

The student begins each lesson using the CD watching and listening to an interactive definition of the word they are studying.

Lesson

Next, the student reads along with the lesson. For a sample lesson, go to our sample lessons page.

Example

Each lesson is followed by an animated example.

Projects & Experiments

Students build projects and use them to conduct experiments, applying what they have learned during
the lesson. The step-by-step
pictorial instructions ensure success.

Activity book

The student finishes by completing an activity page to reinforce what they have learned. For sample pages, go to our sample lessons page. These can be completed either the same day as the sections above, or they can be done on a separate day. This two day approach can work well if you are using the “Further Studies” with an older student.

First page of each activity – basic review and reinforcement
The first activity page in each lesson all age students can complete, however it is designed especially for the younger students (K-1st). It gives the student a simple review of what they have learned in that lesson.

Second page of each activity – FURTHER STUDIES – digs deeper into that lesson’s scientific topic.
The second page is specifically for the older students (2nd and 3rd) and is designed to have the teacher or parent work alongside the student.  It is a more in-depth activity allowing the student not only to review what they learned in the lesson, but often introduces new science concepts as well.

Unit Review – There is a unit review (four total) at the end of each unit covering the main vocabulary words studied in each lesson of that unit.
