This book was geared towards elementary school teachers who are going to teach students about science. What I liked most about this book was that it explained a lot of information in a way that was easy to understand (like nuclear reactions). My only criticism of this book is that the chapter on reproduction talked about orgasms. I highly doubt I'll have to talk about orgasms to elementary aged students once I start teaching full time.
