Book 6 Student Pages
The Book 6 Student Pages spotlight how scientists actually work. Students design, predict, and defend their own conclusions, connecting theory to real-world science. They'll record results like true researchers, building logic and communication skills with every page.
(Already included in the student's digital materials, but ideal in print for kids who love a neat place to keep their findings.)
Book 6 Teacher Pages
Welcome to the lab of the future. Book 6 Teacher Pages focus on tools, data, and technology—think microscopes, telescopes, satellites, and lab instruments. The classic structure remains: four-day pacing, optional RATATAZ labs, rubrics, and quizzes—but the thinking gets sharper. This is where students learn to design, test, and interpret like true young scientists. The Teacher Pages walk you through building your student's confidence with real evidence-based reasoning (and less hand-holding). You'll be amazed at how much he can handle when the readings feel like adventures instead of assignments.
These Teacher Pages mirror the download that's already included with your student book. But if you prefer reading from paper, the print version keeps your hands free from tech distractions.
