Picture
Great Science Adventures is a multi-grade level curriculum for teacher and students in one book. Each of the ten studies include 24 lessons with all the lab and review activities necessary to reinforce the content and all the graphics needed to complete the activities. In addition, the teacher will find an easy-to-follow format complete with concepts, vocabulary words, clear directions, questions to ask, writing assignments, and assessments. Enrichment exercises integrate the subject matter with other disciplines, including appropriate literature to read and web sites to visit.

Multi-grade level
All writing assignments are coded by ability level making the program useable for students in grades K - 8th. This also enables you to teach all your children at the same time using one curriculum. We recommend that higher-level students have access to reference materials for their assignments. Read more about how to use these books with multiple grade levels in "How to Use GSA" down below.

Picture
Investigative Loop
​For lab activities, our exclusive Investigative Loop process helps students get the most from their experience. Complete and clear directions are provided, along with materials lists, questions to ask, and data for students to record. Read more about the Investigative Loop in "How to Use GSA" down below.

Lots of Science Library Book
​In each of the 24 lessons, students make a Lots of Science Library Book using the masters provided inside. View a sample of the Lots of Science Library Book from The World of Space.

Hands-on
​​3D Graphic Organizers make complicated material simple. Students see and touch each part, increasing understanding and retention. Free download: How to use graphic organizers.

Everything you need in one book
Teacher Pages include vocabulary words, concept maps, assessments, assignments for all grade levels, and enrichment activities.

Another unique component of this project is its very design. Regardless of whether your student is an auditory, a visual, or a kinesthetic learner, there are opportunities to exercise each type of learning skill or ability scattered throughout this book’s pages. There are so many hands-on projects and experiments, and the entire design of the Graphics Pages provides opportunities for students to do a lot of folding, writing, coloring, and so on as they create the various visual helps for the lessons.

My kids learn better when there are hands-on activities included in the lesson. The problem is again time. I don’t have time to surf Pinterest for coordinating activities to go along with each topic we’re studying. The World of Space is packed full of easy and fun activities that are perfect for all ages.

I love that this curriculum encourages the student to branch out and investigate. The science course contains information for the student to learn and expand upon. In my opinion, it very closely mimics the essence of science. The student learns a basic concept this leads to various ideas and, the student heads out to learn more. I also love that the curriculum supports reliance on the local library with lists of specific books within each lesson and sorted by reading level age.
