The CK-Foundation intends to create GOOD,inexpensive textbooks. In this book it is certainly succeeding. I wish this system had been available when my youngest child asked for home school for grades 8-12. I have a PhD in English and my husband has an MA in history and an MBA. But those don't make us great teachers for math and science, and we were fumbling our way through these courses.

The books are carefully planned and include all the written information the students could possibly need. As more and more outlets for experimental material for science students appear, lab work becomes more and more available even to home scholars.

Any students who complete their courses without being allowed to fail--that is, if the work is done wrong it has to be done over, something that is far more possible in home schools than in public schools or even private schools--will be well equipped to handle all college entrance exams and probably will be far ahead of their fellow students who came out of public school.

I will never forget one of my college freshmen who came to me in tears the day before Thanksgiving break. She told me that the first thing she was going to do when she got home was to go to the school board superintendent and chew him out, because she was in honors English for four years, and never learned the parts of speech or what does and does not constitute a sentence. I wish every student would do that, when he or she feels failed by the present educational system. If the students would complain, the system would have to change.

We're already seeing this in our four-year-old granddaughter, who is complaining that Church primary is boring. Right now she is enjoying public preschool, but by kindergarten age she will be so far above her fellow students that she, like her mother before her, will be bored stiff throughout public school. Her cousin, our fifth-grade granddaughter, is already reading on a high school level; what is she going to do in high school?

I'm thankful that people are willing to work without charge to create a new school system that every students can use. I have already written to volunteer my services.

Wonderful Book says an Earth Science Teacher

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2014

I teach Earth Science. I was a bit suspicious of the rave reviews this book received, but the price was right. Well, I agree with the reviews, this is a wonderful book. It's a terrific overview of Earth Science.
It is superior to the Glencoe book used throughout our school district. The organization is good, it follows the basic story of the Earth and the key concepts needed by students. The text is clear, the diagrams are excellent: simple, easy to understand and no more complicated than they need to be.
I'm hoping to use this in my class on my iPad and I hope I can get this onto the school's iPads. Well done and thank you.

Impressive!

I am so glad I found this (and the other science books). As a homeschooler, science has been one of the more difficult things to teach. Many of the homeschooling textbooks have religious constraints on them that I didn't want and the ones that are more 'secular' are through the roof in pricing - and that's just for the textbook. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is where to find the answers for the questions, I have known them so it hasn't been hard yet, but I need to figure this component out.

Maybe a good choice for a high school student in the 11th ...

I received the electronic version. For the most part, it was what I expected. My grandson uses it but I think it is written above his head and very dry. On some pages it is very hard to read and make out words because they are double imaged, in other words, one word typed or imposed over another word. The book is very informative but hard to keep student involved or interested in. Maybe a good choice for a high school student in the 11th or 12th grade.

What a great option!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2014

I am so grateful this foundation exists. I work at a very small charter school that expects great things from teachers and students - unfortunately, we don't always have the funds for great resources. It is a little funny because our school was awarded a nice big technology grant a few years ago so we have traveling iPads and computers and a Smartboard in every room - BUT we do not have funds to have textbooks for every subject. I teach Earth science (which doesn't have a textbook) and I was feeling frustrated that I was having to pull resources from websites and random books. It was taking forever to review sources to make sure they included adequate information at an appropriate level. When I found this book on Amazon I thought it was too good to be true but it really is great!! The information provides a good baseline that could be expanded upon if needed. It is easy to read and is well organized. There could be a few more pictures/diagrams to engage the readers but that isn't a big deal.

I would recommend this resource to anyone with access and a need for it!

Great Science book - awesome links

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

The pictures and explainations on the side of text are links they go to videos or other interesting items that help make the science easier to digest. We use our tablets to read our science book. If you want to sit on a hill in the sunshine your science book goes with you! I love these books. And you can't beat the price thanks ever so much and mountains of praise to the group who put this together.

Useless--the formulas are so tiny and blurry, that it is impossible to work with this.

This book is a miracle!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2011

Does this book, CK-12 Earth Science, come in book form: paper-back or hard cover? I want to hold it, yellow highlight certain sections, take notes and memorize the facts. I looked up the title in the amazon.com "Search Books" and can only find it in the Kindle Edition download which is what I did AND that's where I'm reading it. However, I still want a separate copy of this miracle. Thanks.

Useful Book

Reviewed in Canada on June 19, 2015

I used this book as a curriculum base for my son's grade 9 science. It was well-researched and clear in its explanations of the topics covered.
The only drawback is that there is no comprehensive teacher's guide. However, we were able to work through that issue, and all in all, were satisfied with the book.
