Features: This book emphasizes the positioning of the subject, ensuring correctness in language difficulty and scientific rigor, and possesses distinctive characteristics: First, the content is closely related to students' daily lives and learning realities, focusing on cultivating the ability to apply knowledge in practice, thereby helping students transition from the scientific world to the real world. Second, the content is rich and accessible, presented in an easy-to-understand manner. Concepts in the textbook are primarily expressed using vivid and colloquial terms, with fewer technical jargon. Third, it emphasizes stimulating students' inquiry abilities during the scientific learning process, valuing both conclusions and the process. Primary school textbooks integrate activities throughout, while middle school textbooks introduce scientific concepts and the steps of scientific inquiry from the beginning, guiding students to learn and apply science, and fostering their observation, experimentation, thinking, and self-learning skills. Fourth, it prioritizes breadth over depth in knowledge. In terms of content, this series of textbooks mainly covers three major fields: life science, material science, and cosmic science. While systematically explaining the fundamental knowledge of these three fields, it focuses on a broader overall design for the curriculum, with interdisciplinary integration. Fifth, the layout is lively and illustrated. Equipped with a large number of exquisite illustrations is a key feature of this series, especially the primary school textbooks, which fully consider students' cognitive patterns, combining real-life photographs and cartoon images to fully stimulate students' creativity and imagination. Sixth, it is open-ended. This series of textbooks provides teachers and students with choices and creative space in learning content, activities, assignments and exercises, and evaluation. At the same time, it guides students to utilize a variety of resources available in schools, families, society, nature, the internet, and various media for inquiry-based learning, enabling students to subconsciously master English during the process of learning science, thereby achieving the goal of bilingual education.
