For general information on the five Ginn science books, see Ginn science program—Intermediate A,

I only own three and have read three of the five books in the series. This is the one I own but have not read. It’s intended for the fifth grade. Gallant wrote the introduction. It consists of the following sections, with the ones written by Gallant marked with (G).

• How Do Leaves Make Food for the World?
• Using Energy to Do Work
• How the Planets Move (G)
• Transportation and Communication in the Human Body (G)
• Particles in Motion (G)
• Do All Animals Develop from Eggs?
• Fantastic Creatures?
• What Are Webs of Life? (G)

The quote on the cover is “The history of science is science itself” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

As I haven’t actually read this book, I cannot fully comment on it. I have examined the book, and it’s fair to say as a preliminary review that it’s roughly the same quality as Ginn science program—Intermediate A,
