25x: Earth Science, Fifth Edition - Black & White
Full Workbook Edition with Complete Answer Keys and Lecture Notes

Completely updated. More visual. More rigorous. More engaging. Built to help students think like scientists.

Now in its Fifth Edition, 25x: Earth Science has been extensively updated with input from teachers, homeschoolers, and students across the United States and around the world.

We heard you. This edition includes more photographs, more diagrams, more questions, expanded data analysis, and significantly more critical thinking throughout all 25 lessons. Students don’t simply memorize Earth science—they examine evidence, interpret data, make connections, apply what they know, and defend their thinking.

Throughout the Fifth Edition, students are challenged to CONNECT scientific concepts to the world around them, APPLY their learning to new situations and data, and DECIDE by evaluating evidence and drawing supported conclusions.

Read it. Question it. Analyze it. Apply it. Think like a scientist.
