Opportunities to tie science to home and everyday life are everywhere! Skill Sharpeners: Science provides hands-on experiences and activities that connect children's real-world experiences to science concepts and vocabulary. Each full-color worksheet lists skills taught, as well as a "Talk with your Child" note that helps parents explain the concepts being taught. Chants and rhymes, written activity worksheets, and hands-on activities are included.

This Grade K book covers physical science (things have different shapes and sizes, water can change from a liquid to ice and back again, a magnet pulls some metals towards it), life science (living things grow, trees are plants, living things grow and change), and earth science (earth has different kinds of rocks, earth has day and night, people can measure and predict the weather).

An answer key (reduced-size student pages with overlaid answers), a checklist, and certificates for each science domain are included.
