WriteBonnieRose: Learning About Science Collection, Level 3 (Cursive) ~ a TOS review

Just because it's still summer doesn’t mean the learning stops happening in our house. In fact we like to add fun subjects like science to our summer studies so I was excited to receive Learning About Science Collection, Level 3 (Cursive) from WriteBonnieRose to use with McKenzie, my 3rd grader.

For this review we received downloadable PDF files by email for all seven topics in the level 3 cursive set. This fun set will take your elementary aged student on an exciting exploration of earth, life, and physical science. Through the course of the collection your child will learn all about different types of animals, plants, ocean zones, volcanoes, photosynthesis, rocks, energy, and weather to name a few.

Learning about Science Collection Level 3 Cursive

Learning takes place in disguise as your child colors simple drawings and traces key words. I short, informative paragraph written to an elementary child about each topic is included. At the end of each book is a short review section to test knowledge on the topics covered. Once again, this section includes simple, yet cute drawings that can be X’d out or circled.

The topics studied in this set are:

Kinds of Animals and How They Live ~ 18 pages of life science material covering nine different types of animals and 32 specific animals.

What’s Going on Inside Plants? ~ 16 pages of life science material covering photosynthesis and transpiration.

Life in the Ocean’s Hidden Zones ~ 21 pages of life science discovering the five ocean zones and exploring 37 different plants and animals that live there.

Forecasting and Understanding the Weather ~ 18 pages of physical science showcasing the tools weather forecasters use as well as the three elements of weather.

Discovering Rocks, Minerals, and Crystals ~ 18 pages of earth science materials all about the types of rocks that make up our planet.

Exploring the Earth’s Landforms ~ 18 pages of earth science discovering what makes up the earth.

Energy and Its Many Forms ~ 26 pages of physical science that explore the five main types of energy and explore the role of chemical energy in our daily lives.

We received the cursive set, but it also comes in a print edition as well. Getting started was as easy as me printing off the pages and binding them together. The title page and the preceding copywriter page are the only color of the eBook, the rest is black and white. I printed these two pages back to back on a heavier presentation paper in color. The rest of the eBook I printed back to back also.

My soon to be 3rd grader is learning cursive so this is the perfect set for her. She found the tracing to be easy for her to do without too much struggle. She is just beginning to like to color and pay attention to detail in her work. She chose to use a combination of colored pencils and markers in her coloring.

Overall, we have throughly enjoyed this set for WriteBonnieRose. The format of writing and coloring is a good combination for McKenzie and we are both excited to continue working through the remaining learning topics over the course of our school year. I know they will come in handy when we start traveling and she wants something to do in the van. Be sure to check out the resources offered on WriteBonnieRose. She has a plethora of material on all topics and some of it is free.
