 Behold and See 2: More Science with Josh and Hanna |
 Nancy Nicholson with Mary Piecynski |
 As children begin to discover the astounding world that God created, they at the same time begin to uncover the mysteries of science. Rather than being at odds, these two discoveries issue from one and the same Source.
This Catholic science text presents to the child both Creation and Creator, in a context familiar to the child: the family. Activities that follow lessons reinforce and bring topics to life in little hands and minds. Through these lessons, children learn the scientific method of observing, comparing, grouping, and measuring change.
Behold and See 2 users need no additional workbooks, teacher’s manuals, or answer keys; all lessons, activities, and explanations are found within the worktext.
Chapters include: Simple Machines, Work, and Energy; God Provides Water for the World that He Created; Natural Resources: God's Gifts to Man; The Earth on Which We Live; and Marine Life: Living Things in the Oceans.
154 pgs. Full color. Spiral binding for ease of use. 8½"x11"

“Science is one of my second grader's favorite subjects, and Behold and See 2 has only encouraged that. The book is engaging and readable, and I love how it combines teaching stewardship of God's creation with solid science. Our one complaint is that it leaves both my student and me wanting more -- so we use the book as a springboard into nature films and library books, as well. I'm looking forward to using more Behold and See books as my children progress through the grade levels.

“My second grade son has just completed Behold and See Science 2. He has always enjoyed science and this book was no exception. It held his attention and it was the first subject everyday that he wanted to tackle. He often begged to complete more than the assigned pages in the lesson plan. He has learned a great deal and also had his curiosity and love of learning nurtured. His favorite part was the hands on experiments. Mom also liked the experiments, because they were fairly easy to prepare for and complete at home. Furthermore, all of our other kids participated in the experiments (ages 2, 4, and 6). For example, I have pictures of all the kids doing the lever experiment and taking turns trying to balance the ruler and coins. I also have pictures of the kids surrounding the volcano as it is erupting. My son enjoyed the volcano so much, we put it up to dry and a week later did it all again! Measuring marine creatures was also a joint effort between my second grader and my kindergartner. Additionally, we really appreciate how the text incorporates God's plan and the mysteries of His creation into the lessons. It makes a difference using Catholic texts! This kind of fun and learning and family bonding is exactly why we started homeschooling!”
