Usborne Quicklinks ~ Week 17 and 18


6th grade Science ~ Book: What's Science All About?

3rd grade Science ~ None for week 17 and 18

Students read a biography about Rachel Carson, a Magic School Bus book about the Human Body (especially cells), and a section in our Biology book about plants. None of these were Usborne books, so there are no links for these two weeks.
