Answers for workbooks and practical books are in the Teacher's Editions.    Are Teacher's Guides available for Interactive Science series? Yes.  Teacher's Guides are available for the textbooks, and Teacher's Editions are available for both the workbooks and the practical books.     What is Practical book? Practical book provides interesting activities and experiments. Please note that some of these activities and experiments are not meant to be carried out at home. Others can be done at home, and some can be modified.   Is Earth Science or Space Science covered in Interactive Science? There is no Earth Science or Space Science in this series.   What kind of equipment do we need to carry out the experiments? The practical exercises require standard laboratory equipment (e.g. beakers, test tubes, thermometer, graduated cylinders) and chemicals (e.g. copper sulfate, sulfuric acid) that would have to be purchased from a science supply company. A few experiments require more expensive equipment (e.g. microscope, Bunsen burner) or more specialized equipment (e.g. ball and ring apparatus). Some substitutions can be made for some of the more expensive equipment (e.g. alcohol burner or stove for the Bunsen burner), or certain experiments omitted, but the use of some of the less expensive equipment is advisable for a complete program. The workbooks show laboratory set-ups; familiarity with the equipment and procedures is helpful in answering the corresponding questions.  Note: For safety reasons, some of the experiments and activities in the practical books are suitable for carrying out only inside of a science laboratory.  Once you select the experiments you want to do, then you will need to list and order necessary materials from various science supply places.   What if I have more questions about using these books?
