Science Alive (1-5) is a completely new 5-year course specially designed to make the teaching and learning of science a meaningful and truly 'aliVe' experience. The series is planned around the philosophy that science can be learnt only if the child acquires a scientific temperament — there must be curiosity and a kindling of the child's imagination; the joy of discovery and satisfaction of inferring and drawing conclusions.

Special features include:

simple language and vocabulary
child-centred approach
lively and plentiful illustrations
text interwoven with easy-to-do activities and experiments
a help column to explain new words, give or elicit additional information, etc.
enrichment projects to give ideas for exhibitions, projects, etc.
