Bigger Hearts for His Glory - Science
As students grow older, their attention spans
and their desire to know more about God's world grow too. To
encourage that desire, science becomes a daily subject in Bigger
Hearts for His Glory. Science is structured around a
handful of fascinating biographies and living books. Bigger
Hearts for His Glory uses One Small Square: Seashore, Science
in Colonial America,
John Audubon: Young Naturalist, One Small Square: Woods, A
Pioneer Sampler, and Thomas A. Edison: Young Inventor for science.
Hands on science activities are included in our Teacher's Guide
twice each week.These activities are designed to excite your
young scientist without requiring additional preparation or planning
from you. Science notebooking assignments are included once
each week. Children will also have a chance to narrate on what
they've read in science twice each week.
 From
sandy beaches to rocky cliffs, the place where the land meets the
sea is an amazing habitat. While exploring at the shore or reading
at home, children will be astonished by the richness and variety of
creatures at the water's edge. Beautifully illustrated, with a
picture reference and glossary, Seashore is just one volume from the
critically acclaimed One Small Square series of hands-on science
books, now available in paperback.

 Colonial
Americans demanded that their science be practical, useful, and
democratic. They were eager to ask questions and find answers about
the exciting new world around them. The colonists catalogued new
wildlife, examined fossils, experimented with electricity, and
calculated the distance between Earth and the sun.
Led by innovators such as Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Peter
Collinson and other early Americans who explored and contributed to
the science of medicine, natural history, astronomy and electricity.
Incorporating many brief quotes from primary sources, this book
should be useful for both science and social studies inquiry. Maps,
an index, glossary and a list of resources are included. The "can
do" spirit that developed during America's colonial period continues
to inspire American scientists today.

 The
woods are full of puzzles to be solved, clues to be found. Inspired
by this book's hints and fun-filled experiments and activities, and
using only simple equipment, young readers unlock the closely
guarded secrets of the woods from the strange meetings of lazy
butterflies, to the miraculous "walking" of a twig, to the riddle of
why the leaves turn color and fall. One small square at a time,
these "detectives" plunge deeper and deeper into ancient
mysteries without ever getting lost. Beautifully illustrated, Woods
offers a picture field guide, a glossary-index, and a resource list.

 Combining
fact and fiction effectively, this appealing book offers a window
into the lives of pioneers. Greenwood offers fictional episodes about one family,
the Robertsons, but between chapters about their adventures' there
are sections giving background information about the period. For
instance, in one story Meg goes to the general store to buy ribbons
but decides to spend her money to help a neighbor who can't afford
the postage due on a letter. The next few pages show what might be
found at a village store; explain how to make a balance scale from
yogurt containers and a coat hanger; discuss the post office and
letter writing during pioneer days (including the information that
the U.S. began using postage stamps in 1847); and give a recipe for
homemade ink. Profusely illustrated with attractive pencil drawings,
this book will prove a valuable resource for children studying the
period.

Thomas A.
Edison
Young Inventor
ISBN 9780020418504
Price $5.99 [Add to Cart]
 Thomas
A. Edison: Young Inventor is one of the classic Childhood of
Famous Americans titles. It is a biography focusing on the childhood
of the inventor who patented more than 1100 inventions in sixty
years, among them the electric light and the phonograph.
The Childhood of Famous Americans series, seventy years old in 2002,
chronicles the early years of famous American men and women in an
accessible manner. Each book is faithful in spirit to the values and
experiences that influenced the person's development. History is
fleshed out with fictionalized details, and conversations have been
added to make the stories come alive to today's reader, but every
reasonable effort has been made to make the stories consistent with
the events, ethics, and character of their subjects.
These books reaffirm the importance of our American heritage. We
hope you learn to love the heroes and heroines who helped shape this
great country. And by doing so, we hope you also develop a lasting
love for the nation that gave them the opportunity to make their
dreams come true. It will do the same for you.
Happy Reading!
