Children are introduced to quick and easy science experiences which are amazing, exciting, and intellectually stimulating.

This book ventures into all three areas of science study: life (e.g., growth, food chains, and habitats), earth (e.g., air, soil, and water), and physical (e.g., matter, light, and force).

Each experience has been designed to be quick and easy. With only minor or no preparation required, children are introduced to science experiences which are amazing, exciting, and intellectually stimulating.

Experiment with air pressure, homemade chemicals, gravity, and water to discover principles of physical science.

Investigate Earth by learning how a volcano erupts, how rocks become smooth, and what is in the air we breathe.

Examine the basis of life, why plants grow toward the sun, and how fish swim underwater.

Simple Science Fun begins to teach children the value of decision-making, which will become a necessary skill as they grow.

This book has been a classroom favorite for years! It is designed to provide information about the human body for the primary child. Parts of the human body are explained and illustrated. Patterns are included for life-size replicas that the children can make and take home.

It is our hope that if children learn about their bodies at an early age, they will not abuse them later. We hope they will join with us and become excited about learning what is going on inside the body and strive to stay healthy!

I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L.

The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H.

My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M.

I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M.

They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M.

I have used all the materials with my Kdg. class and found them to be so appropriate. The children enjoy them. - Jennifer C.
