Review: Love this - A great science book with alot of links you just scan and visit a bunch of websites on the subject including videos, quizzes, pictures and other articles to increase learning. Totally recommended usborne books. Review: Comprehensive *and* Beautiful - After reviewing a half-dozen science curricula for my home-schooled elementary-age kids, I couldn't find one that I really liked. So I decided to design my own curriculum using this book for source material. Key things that I like: - the book is very comprehensive. It is divided into major themes (Materials, Mixtures & Compounds, Energy/Forces/Motion, Earth & Space, Light/Sound/Electricity, Plants, Animals, Human Body) that make it easy to design a curriculum around it. We have started with Plants, and love it so far (science is my kids' favorite subject); - the quality of the content is very high; - it has internet-linked images and sites so that I can easily make my own hand-outs, and expand on topics when I want to; - it suggests simple experiments to support the learning objectives; and - (as with all Usborne books) the pictures are beautiful! The hard-cover binding is good, but I'm not sure how well it will hold up for the expected 2-3 years of frequent use that it will get. But for the price, I'm still very pleased. Bottom line: Highly recommended both for homeschooling and for science-loving kids (roughly ages 6-10). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #14,436 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #35 in Children's Encyclopedias (Books) #45 in Encyclopedias for Children #58 in Children's Earth Sciences Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 295 Reviews | ## Images ![The Usborne Science Encyclopedia: An In-depth Guide for Young Scientists Exploring Gravity, Flight, Genes, DNA and More, with Over 180 Video Clips and 1000 Recommended Websites for Further Learning - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LkKBLTqKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this *by K***Y on December 9, 2025* A great science book with alot of links you just scan and visit a bunch of websites on the subject including videos, quizzes, pictures and other articles to increase learning.
