What is this book?

In Class 1 science is about looking closely at the world and asking why. The book is organised in six parts that stay the same in Grades 1 to 5, so a child who starts here will know the way around in the later books.

Part 1 Ourselves teaches the human body, the senses and healthy habits. Part 2 Living Things looks at plants and at animals and how they live. Part 3 Materials and Matter looks at materials and objects. Part 4 Forces, Energy and Machines covers movement, sounds, and light and shadow. Part 5 The Earth and the Atmosphere has the weather. Part 6 The Sky and Space ends the year with the Earth, Sun, Moon and stars.

After each part there are Fun Pages, which are practice and activity pages. The book is 104 pages including the glossary.

Table of contents (as printed)

The six parts in short

Part 1 – Ourselves (pages 2–25). The human body, the five senses and healthy habits. This is the first part and the shortest of the main sections, because Class 1 children start with themselves.

Part 2 – Living Things (pages 26–54). Plants (13 pages) and animals and how they live (13 pages). Together they fill almost a third of the book.

Part 3 – Materials and Matter (pages 55–64). A single unit on materials and objects: what things are made of and what they are used for.

Part 4 – Forces, Energy, and Machines (pages 65–85). Movement, sounds and light and shadow, with a Fun Page at the end. This is the first physics part of the series.

Parts 5 and 6 – Earth, weather and sky (pages 86–104). The weather and the Earth, Sun, Moon and stars. The book ends with a glossary on page 104.

Why this book?
