Review Detail
4.5 6 0.5
I used SITB with my 3rd and 5th grade girls this year. It is our favorite subject and we will probably use the next book in the series next year. There is a simple experiment with each lesson using mostly household items and a few inexpensive things to buy. It's important to read ahead in order to collect all the items needed for experiments and occasionally prep the experiment the night before. It would be easier to read a lesson and answer questions, but the experiments make it fun for the girls and help them understand the lesson better.

Pros
Experiments with every lesson and they actually work most of the time. I only have to buy a few inexpensive items for experiment, most items are found around the house. Both my girls enjoyed science together this year
Cons
Not for anyone who doesn't like to do experiments! I think that's what made my girls love it.
Do you recommend?
Yes:)
