"My 6 yr old son and I have enjoyed Behold and See 2. It has opened up discussion for us in many areas. This is one book he asks for me to read....without balking! Thank you."

"My second grade son has just completed Behold and See Science 2. He has always enjoyed science and this book was no exception. It held his attention and it was the first subject everyday that he wanted to tackle. He often begged to complete more than the assigned pages in the lesson plan. He has learned a great deal and also had his curiosity and love of learning nurtured. His favorite part was the hands on experiments. Mom also liked the experiments, because they were fairly easy to prepare for and complete at home. Furthermore, all of our other kids participated in the experiments (ages 2, 4, and 6). For example, I have pictures of all the kids doing the lever experiment and taking turns trying to balance the ruler and coins. I also have pictures of the kids surrounding the volcano as it is erupting. My son enjoyed the volcano so much, we put it up to dry and a week later did it all again! Measuring marine creatures was also a joint effort between my second grader and my kindergartner. Additionally, we really appreciate how the text incorporates God's plan and the mysteries of His creation into the lessons. It makes a difference using Catholic texts! This kind of fun and learning and family bonding is exactly why we started homeschooling!"

"I just received Behold & See 2 and LOVE it. My son Justin was so excited he started looking through it right away and can't wait to get started in the fall. Thanks so much for everything keep up the great work!"
"Science is one of my second grader's favorite subjects, and Behold and See 2 has only encouraged that. The book is engaging and readable, and I love how it combines teaching stewardship of God's creation with solid science. Our one complaint is that it leaves both my student and me wanting more -- so we use the book as a springboard into nature films and library books, as well. I'm looking forward to using more Behold and See books as my children progress through the grade levels. "

"My 2nd grader, Jonah, is loving Behold and See 2: More Science with Josh and Hannah. Just finished the rocks section of the book. We have food allergies to nuts, and coconut, though, so for other families with food allergies, I thought I'd share, we used flax seeds, and broken pretzels for the 'nuts' and Special K cereal (you could use corn flakes) for the leaves when making the sedimentary rock project."

"I have been homeschooling for 18 years and have never found it so easy, complete and enjoyable as I have since using Catholic Heritage Curricula two years ago. I love the Behold and See Science 2: More Science with Josh and Hanna that came in our Core Kit for 2nd grade. It is laid out in manageable lessons. The lessons are written in a manner that is age appropriate but yet a little challenging to stretch their little minds. The science experiments are our favorite part and we look forward to doing them. The material covered helps to explain how things work in our every day lives. We look forward to continuing our building blocks of education in next year's Behold and See Science 3."

"Our second grade son is truly enjoying all of his CHC curriculum this year. It is truly a gentle, but full curriculum that takes the stress off this busy mom! He especially enjoys Behold and See 2 which is a beautiful addition to the Behold and See series. It is written in an easy-to-understand way with lots of rich pictures and activities. We especially enjoyed the soil experiment....anything that permits digging in the dirt is going to get my son's attention! He was amazed to "see" just exactly what he had read about earlier in the day about the layers of the soil as they settled. I could see his love of learning in the way he showed off his experiment to all of his brothers and sisters. I love all your materials for their ease of use and beauty, but I am especially grateful for your Behold and See series which makes my job so much easier!"

"I have a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and thus a rich science background and I have rarely found science texts that are accurate even at the elementary level. Additionally we have the polarizing science vs. religion that is found in almost every text. Thankfully CHC has provided Catholic homeschoolers with accurate and catechetically sound science texts. My daughter is loving science and not just because I do and she is appreciating the great gift we have in our ability to know God through His creation which is science."
