Just Like Me
Camp might be just what Julia needs
Who eats Cheetos with chopsticks? Avery and Becca, my “Chinese Sisters,” that’s who. We’re not really sisters — we were just adopted from the same orphanage. And we’re nothing alike. They sing Chinese love songs on the bus to summer camp, and I pretend like I don’t know them. Hardcover | Kindle book

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat teacher resource
By S. Richards TOP 500 REVIEWER on September 11, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
If you're a teacher looking for something to supplement your classroom teaching, this Spectrum Science Grade 6 book provides some excellent, in-depth exercises. These are very useful for homework assignments. If you're a parent looking for some at-home science practice/enrichment for your child, I think this is a great tool to use for reinforcement of certain topic areas.

This book is divided into 7 Chapters according to content area strands and benchmarks, with each chapter being clearly labelled. Since there is no 'Look Inside' feature, I'll list the chapters below with the lesson titles:

1- Science as Inquiry
1.1 Rules to Remember (safe/unsafe lab practices)
1.2 Taking a Good Look at the World (experiments)
1.3 On the Rise (a hands-on balloon experiment)
1.4 The Case of Wet Windows (humidity and water molecules)
1.5 A Sticky Lesson (La Brea Tar Pits)
1.6 Pangaea, the Supercontinent (Alfred Wegener; continental drift)
1.7 The Rise and Fall of Planet X (Percival Lowell; Pluto)
1.8 Seeing with Electronic Eyes (opitical and electron microscopes)
1.9 The Man Who Saved the Children (Jonas Salk)

2- Physical Science
2.1 Splitting the Atom (nuclear fission)
2.2 Energy on the Move (thermodynamics)
2.3 A Shining Example of Clean Energy (solar power)
2.4 On a Roll (inertia)
2.5 Seeing Sparks (static electricity)
2.6 Taking to the Skies (how do birds stay in the air?)
2.7 Swing Time (pendulum; potential energy and kinetic energy)
2.8 Boyle's Perfect Mixtures (Robert Boyle, the Father of Chemistry)
2.9 Acid or Base? (plants, soil, and pH indicator)

3- Life Science
3.1 Communities of Life (cells, the building blocks of life)

4.0 out of 5 starsSpectrum Science Grade 6
By Amy Mallison-austin on January 31, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book provides a wide variety of topics for a general science instruction for my homeschooled sixth grader. It is well written, and well organized. The questions are easy to answer, a good thing for my student who doesn't love to write. I have always been pleased with the Spectrum series, and this book is no
different.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Great Way to Learn General Science
By Kathi Wyldeck on October 10, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I've bought all the Spectrum Science books from Grades 3 to 8 and love them all. They can be used as science comprehension books, as each lesson includes science vocabulary, a science reading passage and questions to check for understanding. This Grade 6 book contains seven chapters, with each chapter divided into ten lessons. The chapters cover Science as Inquiry, Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, Science and Technology, Science in Personal and Social Perspectives and finally, the History and Nature of Science. There are plenty of coloured illustrations throughout the book, and answers to all exercises at the back. I live in Australia and there are no science books in our shops that are as good as this series, so I'm really glad I've discovered Spectrum Science on Amazon.

2.0 out of 5 starsThrew it away mid-year
By April on January 7, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have successfully homeschooled two children through graduation, so I am familiar with a wide variety of programs. I bought this for my 11 year-old daughter.
She hated it. It is not presented in any logical order, the questions do not always seem to relate to the material presented, and its just boring in general. We kept it and used it half the school year until I could replace it. Her science is now integrated into a unit study program, where the science topics actually relate to other things we are doing.

5.0 out of 5 starsShort and Fun Lessons
By Chrissy on April 12, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My daughter has been using this book for over a month now. She had finished her other science program and I wanted another science workbook for her to use for our homeschooling. She likes the lessons. It isn't very complicated, she reads the page, then answers the comprehension questions for the lesson. There are also chapter tests every so often.

3.0 out of 5 starsSpectrum science, Grade 6
By Mrs. Marian on November 3, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Lesson units appear in a hodgepodge of categories. The questions often do not reflect what is taught, or require a teacher of science to explain the difference in wording. I purchased this workbook for my homeschooled son because I am a certified English teacher, and science was my worst subject in school. I have had to use the internet to answer questions, rather than understanding the material as presented.

I am fully satisfied with the Spectrum Math product I purchased, but I wouldn't purchase science curriculum from this company again.

5.0 out of 5 starsI love this!
By Dare2Dream on January 14, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I'm a homeschool Mom with a 6th grade child who is on the spectrum. I supplement with Uzinggo Science, and use this a few times a week. It's great to be able to test what he's retaining. So many of the options out there are expensive, and you have to pay through the nose for the teacher's edition to get the answers.

I have noticed in the homeschool communities out there that people pass on Spectrum because they align with common core. I get it, but my advice is to pass on the math if that is the case. Don't exclude the entire series. We have the whole group of books, the only one that hasn't impressed me is the Geography book. I love it, it's very affordable which is a huge plus in our household!

By EA99 on February 24, 2014

We use this book to supplement my sixth grader's homework. It is a good tool to use for this purpose, but not sure if I would use it solely. The instructions are easy to read and understand without a lot of supervision.
