*I received a product to help facilitate this review. *
We are almost finished our first year of homeschooling. I have to share something utterly truthful and perhaps slightly crazy. I am a book hoarder and connoisseur! I love them. Homeschooling has helped me to further my collection with a legitimate excuse!! Ok, so that is me being silly but I really have quite the collection and it has grown this year. I was recently selected to join in the book launch for a new and unique science book Big Book of Earth & Sky is not really a book but a 15 foot chart you can use to go along with Earth Science.
About:
Let your child take an exciting, visual journey from Earth’s core to the edge of the outer atmosphere!
- Explore the elements that make up the soil, the sea, and the sky.
- Examine detailed charts and graphs about the earth’s crust, caves, and clouds.
- Scan facts and figures on weather, mountains, and more, based on the best-selling Wonders of Creation series!
Designed by the creative team that developed the innovative and award-winning Big Book of History, the Big Book of Earth and Sky unfolds as a 15-foot chart. It is removable so it can be viewed either panel-by-panel or hung on the wall as a full-length display.
This casebound volume provides ease of storage for the chart, which is excellent for families, schools, and churches. A teacher’s guide helps bring out additional insights with questions, education activities, and additional readings, all of which enhance this excellent reference tool and help a parent or teacher utilize it within their science curriculum. This stunning chart will pique the interest of children and bring a study of God’s world to brilliant life!
My Thoughts:
I loved this format! While it is encased in a book binding it is really a big chart filled with all kinds of science information. The chart is 15 foot long but you can break it up into sections if you like. I love this because kids retain information when you hit them with all the senses. So hearing is the most common way we homeschool with lectures but seeing is even more important. I found that out when I added a white board to our living room. Suddenly they were retaining twice as much. I know that these charts will add to that element and science will grow as well. I love that you can really make this book work for you. Seperate the charts and use them while studying to reinforce book learning. The handy book binding case will keep everything together.
