Earth Science

The Living Books K-8 science curriculum is designed to prepare your child for high school level work and beyond. It is a structured adventure into basic science concepts. The science curriculum addresses four major strands: life, physical, earth, and health. Within the four major strands we touch on eleven themes: plants, animals, ecology, matter, energy, technology, the earth, weather, space, the human body, and well-being. We have chosen books which make each abstract concept in the curriculum clear and a pleasure to learn.
