If ever there was a book that needs to be in the hands of every home educator, this is it! When I snagged the VERY LAST COPY at convention I knew there had to have been something special about it. In fact, after quickly thumbing through it at convention I remember thinking, “Wow, this looks cool.” However now that I have it in my hot little hands, I realize that it’s really a gold mine and one that I have to share with all of you. Seriously, you need this book!

What is included:
296 reproducibles that cover Life Science, Environmental Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, and Space Science. Also included are several universal graphic organizers.

Whether you are looking for something for lapbooking, notebooking or just worksheets to further illustrate a topic, this is the book you MUST have. The illustrations are engaging, scientifically accurate and of course educational. In planning for our upcoming school year I have found numerous pages that could be used with virtually all of our science studies.

The Human Body, body puzzle on pages 130-140 is not to be missed! Here students will cut out an illustrated body and then assemble the other cut outs (outer body parts, bones & internal organs) onto the puzzle.

Life Cycles includes everything from Dinosaur Life Cycles, to the more common (frogs, chickens, rabbits), to a few you might not expect, such as the Swellshark and Salmon life cycles.

The book is divided into six sections:

Life Science includes:

Plants, Land Invertebrates, Ocean Invertebrates, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, Fish, Mammals, Prehistoric Animals, and the Human body.

Environmental Science includes:

Habitats, endangered species and recycling.

Earth Science includes:

Land forms, weather, air, water, and geology.

Physical Science includes:

Magnetism, electricity, light, sound, matter and energy and simple machines.

Space Science covers:

Moons, our sun, constellations, night and day, eclipse and the solar system.

Graphic Organizers include:

K-W-L chart, Venn Diagrams, Webs, outline forms, ivestigation record sheets, field trip notetaker, What happened today, Research notetaker, Science Record Sheet, Animal Report Form, and World Maps.

Have I mentioned that you need this book? I did? Okay, go buy it!

The Giant Science Resource book is available through a variety of homeschool resources or directly from Evan-Moor Publishers where it retails for $26.99

As someone who never changed a diaper until she had children, Karin is surprised by the fact that she has been changing diapers for the past 5 years straight with no end in sight! As the 7th of 8 children, Karin feels blessed by her average size (in her mind anyway) family and wouldn’t mind a few more– God willing and her husband notwithstanding. Her biggest homeschooling dream is to one day homeschool across the United States in an RV. Please visit her new blog Mommy Matters.
