The Usborne Science Encyclopedia: An In-depth Guide for Young Scientists Exploring Gravity, Flight, Genes, DNA and More, with Over 180 Video Clips and 1000 Recommended Websites for Further Learning

A great science book with alot of links you just scan and visit a bunch of websites on the subject including videos, quizzes, pictures and other articles to increase learning. Totally recommended usborne books.

After reviewing a half-dozen science curricula for my home-schooled elementary-age kids, I couldn't find one that I really liked. So I decided to design my own curriculum using this book for source material. Key things that I like: - the book is very comprehensive. It is divided into major themes (Materials, Mixtures & Compounds, Energy/Forces/Motion, Earth & Space, Light/Sound/Electricity, Plants, Animals, Human Body) that make it easy to design a curriculum around it. We have started with Plants, and love it so far (science is my kids' favorite subject); - the quality of the content is very high; - it has internet-linked images and sites so that I can easily make my own hand-outs, and expand on topics when I want to; - it suggests simple experiments to support the learning objectives; and - (as with all Usborne books) the pictures are beautiful! The hard-cover binding is good, but I'm not sure how well it will hold up for the expected 2-3 years of frequent use that it will get. But for the price, I'm still very pleased. Bottom line: Highly recommended both for homeschooling and for science-loving kids (roughly ages 6-10).

Qe used this for 7th grade science class. Very I testing, short to the point. The book comes with internet links kids can watch videos on each topic.

Love the pics, love the details, love the whole thing. It is a very useful little encyclopedia that has the graphics that will lure anyone, young or old in. Perfect for my kids. And it has great Internet sights that work with it.

What an amazing science learning companion! The QR codes with videos my kids love and really help them grasp the concept.

Good for today’s students who have a naturally short attention span and are more attracted to visual stimuli. Informative w/o being intimidating for the recommended age group.

Good book, only issue I had with it is the information is too brief. Great as a starting point for researching more in depth info. Love the links though. I can't say to many bad things, Usborne World History is my favorite book for our Homeschool. I just expected the Usborne Science to be just as great.

I bought it used but it was in a good condition. We use this book as part of our homeschool curriculum. Lots of info and amazing pictures.

Tres complet, parfait pour fin primaire / secondaire. Convient aux enfants des 6-7 ans avec des explications complementaires des parents / educateurs. Bien illustre et a jour.

My daughter enjoys the book very much,and was nice surprise to found message inside the book thank you for sending 😊

Great package! Nice condition of the book. Thank you!

Great resource book - my son loves it.

Excellent reference for a child and to get him interested in science. Layout for info is also good and at times interactive.
