OUR THOUGHTS:

I liked these a lot.  The one that we got to review was on fractions.  My first thought was "What does this have to do with science?"  We quickly learned fractions are all through out science.  Since we got a number of different age groups we were able to do a bunch of different activities.  We learned about environmentalists, musical scales, painting, meteorologists.  Who knew all these had to do with fractions.  But what a great way for our children so see fractions are everywhere!  It has made them appreciate them a little more....just a little!!

If you are looking for a little different approach to science these are for you.  They are quick and easy.  Everything is right there for you.  Go on over to the TOS Crew Blog and see what my fellow crew mates are saying.
