The Science Step by Step Student Book uses systematic sequences of picture-based directions that follow real-life photos to introduce science to students. Building on skills developed in Picture Directions, Student Book pages carry out engaging hands-on discovery activities. Students learn that their actions have an effect on objects, and this gives them a sense of curiosity and wonder—desirable qualities for learners. As students learn to attend to tasks and follow directions without adult assistance and prompting, it builds greater independence and confidence.
