A Head Start on Science
Our award-winning Teacher's Guide has been revised and updated. With these activities children can discover the natural world as they explore life, Earth, and physical science. Each activity includes follow-up activities, connections to centers and children's literature, assessment guides, and more.

A Head Start on Life Science
This follow-up to our initial teacher's guide, is also designed to heighten your children's "sense of wonder," but provides greater, more in depth explorations of life science topics. These multi-disciplinary lessons include activities to use throughout your school day.
