Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Science Question of the Day

Nancy Finton · 2007
68/100
👎 Skip It

A full school year of daily standards-aligned science questions from Scholastic is exactly what it sounds like — reliable, broad, and thoroughly utilitarian. The 180-question format covering ecosystems, weather, states of matter, and the solar system gives a teacher a dependable bell-ringer tool with no setup required. Its ceiling is also its design: this is a narrow test-prep supplement, not a book that sparks scientific wonder, and state standards vary enough that alignment is not guaranteed outside the original target market.
