Holt Science and Technology: Life Science (Holt Science & Technology: Life Science)

This year our children's public school books are online. "Online" is a VERY POOR CHOICE for science textbooks, because our online access does not show text and pictures/diagrams all on the same "page" like the book does.So, why write about this textbook?Simple. We chose to make the sacrifice "for science" and it has really paid off. While other students are still struggling with the homework and reading assignments, our child now has had the ease of being able to open the book at home and simply learn the material. Pictures and text together seem like a miracle of modern science and technology in this brave new paperless fahrenheit 451 post hard copy textbook world.Now, a nod to the publisher:Kudos to you all on getting a beautiful and pristine "nearly new" textbook to our house at a very reasonable price. Sorry our school system has been pressed into buying online access that isn't all that good for science books.This book matches the required text book page for page with the "Georgia Standard" for 7th grade general science. It covers basic scientific process and has logically organized lessons. Holt tends to print the same book with each State name in the title if the State decides that the book meets their standard (For us, it's AKS... Academic Knowledge and Skills curriculum). Does it meet common core requirements? I don't know. If I were homeschooling my children, I would feel very comfortable with this text and the basic knowledge it provides. I teach in the science field at the graduate level, and this information is a good foundation that is easy enough to understand at the 7th grade level.

Perfect

This book helped my needs in middle school to excel far beyond the class and learn material covered in high school. This book helped explains advanced material in great detail. I used it to gain information for general knowledge, and to study for competitions. It covers ecosystems, the 6 kingdoms of animals, evolution, cells, human body systems, and classification. This is a must by book for anyone in grades 1-9 looking to gain knowledge on life science.

Interesting and vivid illustrations - clear and easy to understand lessons and descriptions. Highly recommend this text for all students studying, or interested in, elementary science.

Book was in good shape and was sent quickly! Reasonable price. Now, my child does not have to reply on the online book...much faster to read and study from. Thanks!

Your book was a lifesaver and in perfect condition!

Purchased this book so that my son could have a copy at home. His current school doesn't allow students to bring home hard copy books but rather links to online versions. Excellent quality; quick delivery.

Great product, perfect condition, as described. I purchased this book so my son wouldn't have to lug his text books home every day. His backpack weighs about 50 lbs as it is! Well worth the money!
