Subject: physical science textbook recommendation

Hi.

My friend is looking for a textbook to use for ninth grade Integrated
Science. Does anyone have a recommendation for her?

Here's what she wrote me . . .

>This year we've studied:
>
>density (both from a chemistry and physics perspective)
>atoms and molecules (to ionic or covalent bonds)
>unit conversions
>conservation of energy (in the physics sense, not PG&E sense)
>human anatomy
>some basic earth science
>maybe basic circuits
>
>I have seen the red and green Balanced Science (Jones, Jones and
>Acaster) books and like them a bunch. This year I teach out of the
>Holt Science Spectrum book and I hate it (not enough breaking down
>of concepts, not enough practice problems).

Thanks a lot!

~ Geoff
