Want to switch on the excitement of science investigations and fun learning? Introduce your child to The Curiosity Files™ and discover some unusually interesting subjects . . . you know, the unfamiliar, the zany, and the strange things of nature that kids are so attracted to.

Professor Ana Lyze and her research “spy” team specialize in the obscure, the abnormal, and the bizarre. With The Curiosity Files™, children will become mesmerized and thoroughly educated about many subjects they’d probably never come across otherwise.

You’ll notice that The Curiosity Files™ are visually astounding! But they are equally engaging! The conversational-style content pulls the reader in for a wild investigation into the heart of each topic.

With this unit, kids will think creatively and exercise their minds while exploring many interesting and related topics. Students will enjoy fun writing activities to combine sentences and craft a story in The Write Stuff feature. Figure It Out uses the appeal and practicality of grasping important math concepts, including measurement, word problems, and multiplication, relating them to real-life lessons for the primary and middle grades. Two levels of vocabulary activities and spelling worksheets cover both elementary and middle/high school. Plus, you’ll discover both an elementary and middle/high school Spanish lesson!

In the Lab will bring smiles and give kids a chance to use their newly acquired knowledge. Take an ornithology opportunity to observe and record bird findings. There are Good Old Days history lessons and research activities, and Where in the World provides creative map and island discoveries.
