The Textbook introduces the basic concepts and principles of life, earth, and physical sciences. Concepts are presented in concise and friendly format that motivates students to read and think critically as they build science content knowledge. It also places the study of science in a meaningful, interdisciplinary context in which students can see the role that science plays in everyday life.

The Laboratory Manual activities add dimension as students see science come to life through hands-on experiments while practicing science methodology. Students perform experiments and investigations so they learn science by doing science.

The Teachers Guide provides suggested teaching strategies and practical teaching tips with emphasis on ways to motivate students. Each teachers guide includes: activities for groups and individuals that reteach, reinforce, and enrich; background information; answers to assessment questions; chapter test databank; and media integration.

The Investigatory Project guides students in coming up with a well-planned scientific output by the end of the school year. It provides opportunities for students to become young scientists as they explore their environment while applying concepts in science.

The Teachers Resource CD is a compilation of teaching resources.
