Covers a nice range of subjects. As well as history and science there is a reasonable amount on team building and other social skills. The practicals look fun. I wasn’t keen on the blue writing and the pages sometimes felt squashed. The chronology Was sometimes unclear.

There are so many inexpensive activities I want to try from this book. Some activities involve no cost, others use materials like string, straws, cardboard cereal boxes, for kids to build their own arch, beam, and suspension bridges. Great resource!
