Nancy Larson Publishers is proud to bring you Nancy Larson® Science 4. It is a comprehensive and creative approach to elementary science where sophisticated topics are explored in age-appropriate ways. Our kits include the things you need to successfully teach the program. Challenging topics, innovative strategies, built-in reinforcement of reading, and many hands-on activities make this program a very effective and enjoyable learning experience for parents and students!
Science 4 is recommended for ages 9-12 and is appropriate for older children with limited science experience.
Science 4 - 91 lessons; approximately 45 minutes per lesson, 4 days a week.

Nancy Larson Makes Science Primary in Reading!
Vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension are three important components in reading that we have taken into consideration when we wrote our lessons. To reinforce your child's reading skills and comprehension of text, important strategies are built into the program. Some of these include observing, visualizing, applying, predicting, describing, and summarizing.
