My Thoughts
These books are fantastic for homeschoolers as well as families looking into reinforcing science lessons from school. Each books are designed based on the Canadian curriculum and will allow your child to study science at home. Each book contains a number of gold reward stars which can be stick on the progress chart that you can find at the beginning pages. Once the progress chart is completed, you can complete a certificate that will testify that your child has gone through the book to learn more about science.
Grades K-2 Science Made Easy will let your child discover more about body parts, the five senses, weight, how living things grow, reproduction, taste, parts of a plant, where animals live, environment, metal, floating objects, light, shadows, pull vs push, mirrors, non-living things, life cycles, food, elastic bands, animals, materials, and so much more.

Grades 5-6 Science Made Easy anatomy, diets, solids, liquids, gases, viscosity, evaporation, matter, temperatures, microbes, vertebrates, yeast, arthropods, birds, plants, parachutes, planes, electricity, switches, and more.
Each books is special in it’s own way because the complexity and the information presented will be adapted to the age of the child. I particularly love the progression from one book to another. Depending of the subject at hand, they will go through the same information but in a more detailed manner. To be honest, as I was going through these books to discover the various science subjects, I was thinking that this will be great to do with the kids because I would learn at the same time. Some subjects were obvious to me while other ones brought some question marks in my head. Experiments are also included in it so you can do these with your child if you want to.
My only problem is that I can’t make copies of the pages for each of my kids. Part of me also wishes that there would be reproducible pages in the book which would be a bonus for homeschooling families with multiple children. These books are well done and will help you to teach the essential science lessons that should be covered while homeschooling your child.
