Full Description

Science Essentials High School Level gives classroom teachers and science specialists a dynamic and progressive way to meet curriculum standards and competencies. Science Essentials are also available from Jossey-Bass publishers at the Elementary School and Middle School Levels.

You’ll find the lessons and activities at each level actively engage students in learning about the natural and technological world in which we live by encouraging them to use their senses and intuitive abilities on the road to discovery. They were developed and tested by professional science teachers who sought to give students enjoyable learning experiences while preparing them for district and statewide proficiency exams. For easy use, the lesson and activities at the High School Level are printed on a big 8 ½” x 11” lay-flat format that folds flat for photocopying of over 107 student activity sheets, and are organized into two sections :

  1. BIOLOGY (60 Lessons)
  2. CHEMISTRY (47 Lessons)

    This is a wonderful resource for home schooling families. The textbook is divided into two main sections, biology and chemistry: within these sections there is coverage of all aspects of these general subjects. The writing style is clear and direct. Each chapter has experiments for hands on experience. Most items used in the experiments are readily available.

    The unusual aspect of this book is that it is at once a teacher’s manual and student textbook. It explains for the teacher clearly the objective and learning, and then gives the student study materials and experiments and writing assignments to clarify what they have observed and experienced.

    A good textbook for preparing a high schooler for the GED test. One of the textbooks I would choose for a student inerested in college prep and for preparation taking SAT/ACT tests.

    This book is excellent! I use all of the biology section. The chemistry is excellent too. Its a worthwhile tool to invest in.

    While the activities in the book are great. Some are more in depth than others and some just seemed pointless. After using three of the activities, I felt the rest of the book was a waste of money. Before you buy check your schools curriculum and make sure you have time for a few days of “filler work” otherwise you wont use most of the material from this book. Also some of the illustrations seemed to be done on a poor computer.
