The 2nd edition of My Pals are Here International Science offers a focus on awareness, collaboration, and critical and inventive thinking using an inquiry-based approach. The program is for grades 1-6 and based on the principles of engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation.
There is now one Textbook, Activity Book, and Teacher's Guide per grade (as compared to the A and B books in the first edition).
The Activity Book contains the Student Worksheets, Creative Science activities, Review Questions, and the end of the year review. Each activity lists the aim or objective of the activity, materials needed, procedures, observations, questions, and conclusions. These books are the only consumable portion of the curriculum, and are illustrated with black and white illustrations.
