Likes: Very hands on -- every lesson has a page for adult to read and an activity or lab to complete. The text is at the child's level--it does not talk down to nor is it "over their heads" My oldest loved the part about the human body. We still have the "blood" model (corn syrup, red hots and lintels) in our refrigerator.

Dislikes: I had a hard time finding the "creatures" (snails, spiders and isopods). When I tried to modify those labs/activities, my daughter's interest started to fade. It did not really work. When I did not have to modify, my daughter liked it.

That being said, I really did like the program. I am going to use it with my youngest next year. If I can not find the creatures, I am just going to do notebook page and page in Animal Kingdom book and go on.
