Spend less time planning for science and more time actually doing science. This program provides inquiry-rich content with Scaffolded Inquiry(tm) activities; cross-curricular connections that link reading and science skills in every chapter; hundreds of Leveled Readers for differentiated instruction; and time-saving strategies that create extra time in your day to do science.

Hardbound Student Edition is organized into four units--Life, Earth, Physical, and Space and Technology. Each unit contains a balance between key science content and hands-on activities that support each lesson.
