The Queen's Assessment:
We received a Composting edition of Science Weekly for this review. We received Levels Pre-A through Level E which correlates to Grades K-6. The princess completed lessons Pre-A and A. The prince did Levels B and C.
Each unit had age-appropriate lessons in math, vocabulary, language arts and science. The labs in the units for older children was more involved than those in the lower units. The teaching notes made it easy to give students background information and work through the lessons.
The prince and princess really enjoyed this review. They spent several days talking about what could go in the compost and what could not.
I liked that everything was together. The materials to be read were not far from the materials on which to be written. (That can sometimes be a problem around here.) In addition to the materials presented, there were internet links for further study.
We enjoyed this lesson. You can take a peek at a sample and see what you think.

Your Majesty,
Visiting from the Crew. We did THE FLU from Science Weekly and I was impressed by how the kids enjoyed it and how much they remembered. We did ours a bit differently but I like that we had the opportunity to look at all the levels.
Blessings,
