We used Lyrical #3 for homeschool last year for my 3rd & 5th graders. After just 1 section, I dropped it from my 3rd grader's curriculum. The vocabulary is too complex for elementary age children. I do think it is helpful to put these scientific lessons to music, and the illustrations were good, though. I would recommend this for junior high school age children after completing it with my 11 year old.

I only recognized 2 of the songs in this book, it said it was supposed to be familiar folk songs. The main thing I did not like was the reproductive section was way too graphic and descriptive for what I want to present to my children. My kids are ages 13 down to 3 years old, and I really don't want to be singing songs about sperm and male seed swimming together as a sing along. I would rather have had that section removed. I feel like I wasted my money. There were no hands-on activities or experiments. Maybe that is just as well because I don't know what they would have done on the reproductive section for that... :) ! I will not be using this as part of my curriculum.
