Mark Twain Grades 5-8 General Science WorkBook, Solar System, Weather, Energy, Natural Disasters, and Biology Textbook, Classroom or Homeschool Curriculum (Volume 3) (Daily Skill Builders) Paperback – December 19, 2008

Great resource- I use these for warm ups. They take students 5 minutes and I some times use these for exit cards. it helps me get a feel what the students do and don't know. the answers are provided- easy to grade.

I guess I overlooked the description- this is a workbook only. It looks very nice but there is no text book to accompany. It is supplemental only.The workbook is engaging and will be a nice addition to whatever textbook I can find 😏

I will put in detail on here in awhile, the book has inaccuracies in some of the lessons, which can frustrate students that are getting the answer 'right'. Other than that...I am glad that it is helping me to learn what would be in the general science curriculum. Those looking for one, I just found CK12, what a God-send! It's free, non-profit and all the info in that book seems to be what's in these lessons. I can NOT believe the current book I have (I'm Christian, if this helps indicate which one I have) has, in some cases, only 20% of the content for most of the chapters. I will say, though, for my Christian book, it 'is' helping me understand concepts more in depth. I think between these, the CK12 site, and the book, I've struck my balance. Though, I can't understand what isn't 'Christian' about being a good steward of the land. Prior to global warming being politicized, we spoke of it with 'no' issue, now, 'oh, let's make up some facts', but that will be under the review for that book. I like these worksheets, they're the best I've found so far.

Great half-page worksheets for a "Do Now" or mini quiz.

I purchase this workbook for my 7th grade daughter. We homeschool, the questions are great and thorough the pages are not see through the only problem that I have with this is that there is no reading, to help my daughter find the answer to the questions. I would not purchase again

Disappointed with this but only because there's no lesson to go with the questions..Son was frustrated with that so we switched. But it's a good quality book and if you're reviewing certain areas this would be great, even has the answer in the back.

Happy with the book, just as described. Great value!

NO Lesson structure. Just a bunch of random topic pages with questions. Good luck finding a text book to accompany this stupid book. Waste of money. You'll be researching every single question and your kids will be SUPER confused .
