What makes this Science Study special?
This incredible Bigger Heart’s Science Study not only includes eye-catching, full-color readings and exciting hands-on follow-ups, it also includes our brand-new Living Science Nature Journal! This beautiful journal was specially created by Heart of Dakota specifically for this science study. It coordinates with the daily living book readings. It also provides a lovely place for children to complete their written narrations and guided sketches, and it will surely be a memorable keepsake of this science study!
But the journal is not the only showstopper of this Science Study! The Bigger Heart’s Science Kit is a one-of-a-kind kit from Creature Crew! Its color-coded animal and habitat cards, animal footprint stickers to track where creatures live, and unique supplies are sure to be a delight. Best of all, at the end of each science theme, kiddos get a “creature collectible” that reminds them of what they learned in a fun yet tangible way.
Finally, this unique, living books’ approach to science integrates nature lessons, notebooking, narration, relevant Scriptures, and hands-on activities. It also functions as an important training tool to prepare children for next year’s science. This set of books intentionally alternates between parent read-alouds and independent student readings. This way, students can successfully transition into reading science on their own in the next Heart of Dakota guide.
