Science Detective® uses topics and skills drawn from national science
standards to prepare your child for more advanced science courses and
new assessments that measure reasoning, reading comprehension, and
writing in science.
First, children read lessons that include a variety of charts, tables, and graphs.
Then, they answer critical thinking questions to improve their understanding of
the science concepts and develop their reading comprehension, and inferential
and deductive thinking skills. Children can't just scan the story for answers—
they must carefully analyze and synthesize the information from the text and
the charts, tables, and graphs to explain and support their answers.
Includes teacher and student introductions, a chart of topics and key ideas to
help select activities, and detailed answers.
Choose one or the other. Whichever one you choose, you can't go wrong. Review the features listed below for additional benefits offered by the
