Features: This textbook series emphasizes subject positioning, ensuring accuracy in language difficulty and scientific content, with distinct characteristics: First, it is close to students' lives and learning realities, focusing on cultivating their practical skills to help them return from the scientific world to the real world. Second, the content is rich and easy to understand. The concepts presented in the textbook are mostly expressed in vivid and colloquial terms, with fewer technical terms. Third, it emphasizes stimulating students' in-depth inquiry abilities during the scientific learning process, valuing both conclusions and the process. Primary school textbooks integrate activities throughout the content, while middle school textbooks introduce scientific concepts and inquiry steps from the beginning, guiding students to learn and apply science, and fostering their observation skills, experimental abilities, thinking skills, and self-learning abilities. Fourth, it prioritizes breadth over depth in knowledge, covering three major fields: life science, material science, and cosmic science. While systematically explaining the foundational knowledge of these three fields, the series focuses on a broader overall design, with interdisciplinary content integration. Fifth, the layout is lively and illustrated. Equipped with a large number of exquisite illustrations, this is a key feature of the series. Especially for primary school textbooks, it fully considers students' cognitive patterns, guiding them to use diverse resources from schools, families, society, nature, the internet, and various media for inquiry-based learning. This allows students to subconsciously master English while learning science, achieving the goal of bilingual education.
