Core Concepts: Sets 1 - 2
Dovetailing perfectly with the Common Core State Standards Initiative, this content covers the waterfront in terms of science literacy--offering substantive and accessible examinations of subjects like biology, ecology, genetics, chemistry, metals and nonmetals, the Periodic Table, and atoms and molecules, among many others. Yet it also furnishes an excellent tool for the active learning of Common Core principles relating to key ideas and details, craft and structure of science-related text, integration of knowledge and ideas, and exposure to a range of reading and text complexity.
