Illustrated Elementary Science Dictionary

Science is fun with this dictionary.

This week our home learning focused on the concept of motion.  For these lessons we referred to the Usborne book Illustrated Elementary Science Dictionary (this link will take you to my consultant web site).   This has been a welcome addition to our home library. 

 The Usborne Illustrated Elementary Science Dictionary tells about different scientific ideas and concepts in an easy straight forward manner.  This book has a unique way of explaining basic science in an easy to manage manner for children and parents.  It helps to establish and lay a firm foundation on which to build further knowledge.  For my daughter, it also encourages her to try experiments; testing out methods learned in the explanations. 

The book is written for children in the early to mid elementary grades.  The Elementary Science Dictionary was the perfect fit for us as a go to science book.  I am very happy with it.  Right now we can work it together and as she gets older it will grow with her and be a go to dictionary for her to use on her own.




The publisher says that the book is written for eight years and up, but with my help my six year old enjoys the book.
