This chart matches Five in A Row titles
with activities/experiments/information for reading from Usborne Science books.
The books I used are The Usborne Book of Science Activities Volumes 1-2
(I don't have Volume 3 listed). You will
find the title of the activity, the page numbers, and the science book volume
number (1 or 2) as well as the FIAR title that relates. If you don't
own these books, you may want to check them out at your library! I think
Volume 2 is a must have!!
