Amazing Science is a series of eight books designed for Classes 1 to 8. The books conform completely to the vision of the National Curriculum Framework and to the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) guidelines laid down by CBSE. The books for Classes 1 to 5 have been specially crafted for schools teaching a basic course in science at the primary level. The ones for Classes 6 to 8 comply fully with the syllabi prescribed by the NCERT and follow the thematic approach recommended for the middle and secondary level. Written in simple, child-friendly language, the series aims to develop scientific skills such as observation, analysis, investigation, experimentation, and inference.
