Text Book Review: Prentice Hall Earth Science

Organization: 5 The chapters progress in a manner that makes sense. It goes from rocks to minerals to erosion, etc.

Chapters: 4 There is no introduction or conclusion to the chapters. The information kind of just starts and ends, there is nothing there to sum up the information taught. Everything else in the rubric was achieved within the chapters, however, so it was rated a 4 out of 5. The wording is something that would be easy for a student to understand: lots of visual aids and not too wordy.

Student Work: 5 The student work is pretty good. They utilize critical thinking questions to reiterate the important topics. The SAT prep questions in the book are also nice and very helpful.

Peripherals: 5 A CD is given with the text to help increase student understanding even further. There is also a teacher version of the text and it has a ton of teaching activities and examples.

Overall: 4.5
