Latest
For young children, every phenomenon in life can spark a question and open a new journey of discovery. Whensi science is integrated into the process of learning English, familiar knowledge not only helps children better understand the world around them but also provides an opportunity to approach a foreign language naturally. From this orientation, the Amazing Science series by the Vietnam Education Publishing House combines English learning with scientific exploration, encouraging students to observe, investigate, and gradually develop proactive thinking in learning.
When English becomes the language of world exploration
Why do day and night occur? What causes plants to grow? How do familiar phenomena around us operate? For young children, the world is always full of questions needing answers. When this curiosity is properly stimulated, each lesson can become an exploration, each new piece of knowledge opening a different perspective on life. This is also the approach that the Amazing Science series, aimed at students from grades 1 to 5, strives for: Taking English beyond the confines of mere vocabulary and grammar lessons to become a tool for acquiring and exploring knowledge.
Instead of just learning an English word and memorizing its corresponding meaning, students have the opportunity to place vocabulary in specific scientific contexts, explore objects and phenomena, and gradually express what they observe and learn. Thus, English is not only content to be learned but also a means to access new knowledge.
The series employs the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) method, combining scientific knowledge acquisition with the development of English proficiency. Accordingly, two learning objectives are pursued simultaneously: students expand their understanding of the world around them while accumulating vocabulary, honing reading comprehension skills, and becoming familiar with using a foreign language in learning.
With a curriculum from grades 1 to 5, the content is designed to progress from simple to advanced, allowing students to access knowledge appropriate to each stage. Scientific topics familiar to daily life become starting points for students to observe, ask questions, and connect what they learn with the real world.

From book pages to exciting experiences
For primary school students, the method of delivery is as important as the lesson content. A vivid image, a thought-provoking question, or a suitable practical activity can spark interest and make knowledge more accessible.
Amazing Science emphasizes visual design with bright colors, clear layouts, and a system of lively illustrations. This presentation helps students easily follow the content while creating a connection between words, images, and the scientific concepts introduced.
Notably, the learning journey does not stop at reading and memorization. The activities in the book are organized in various forms, guiding students from knowledge acquisition to practice, systematization, reading comprehension, and hands-on application.
| “If English is the key to opening the world, science is the door that leads children to new horizons of knowledge. By combining these two fields in a single learning journey, the Amazing Science series by the Vietnam Education Publishing House offers primary school students the chance to explore the world in English, from familiar aspects of life to fascinating scientific phenomena.” |
In the Let's Learn section, students approach scientific concepts through visual images. Let's Practice provides opportunities to reinforce vocabulary and sentence structures in a learning context; Let's Memorize helps systematize key knowledge and keywords. Meanwhile, Let's Read aims to develop reading comprehension skills, expanding the ability to receive information in English.
Especially, Let's Experiment incorporates practical activities into the learning journey through small experiments. From observing phenomena to understanding results, students have the opportunity to apply learned knowledge while becoming familiar with scientific approaches through experience.
The combination of activities creates a diverse learning rhythm, helping children not only receive information but also have the opportunity to use knowledge and language in specific situations. Thus, learning English linked with science becomes more accessible, intuitive, and rich in exploration.
Nurturing scientific thinking from the first questions
The value of learning science lies not only in the knowledge that can be memorized but also in how learners observe, ask questions, seek answers, and adjust their understanding. For primary school students, forming these habits early can lay an important foundation for long-term learning.
Through topics and learning activities, Amazing Science aims to create opportunities for students to develop observation, reasoning, reading comprehension, and expression skills in English. When knowledge is placed in specific situations, students have more opportunities to connect what they have learned with what is happening around them.
The integrated approach also helps expand the role of foreign languages in the learning process. English not only serves communication but can also become a tool for reading, exploring, and acquiring knowledge in many fields. This is one of the essential foundations as students increasingly have the opportunity to access diverse information sources and learning environments.
From a natural phenomenon observed, a passage to be comprehended, to a small experiment to be conducted, each activity can open opportunities for children to learn something new. When curiosity is nurtured alongside language ability, the learning journey not only aims at gaining more knowledge but also encourages students to actively explore and discover.
With the orientation of integrating science and English, visual design, and a diverse system of activities for students from grades 1 to 5, Amazing Science is a reference choice for schools, teachers, and parents who wish to bring foreign languages closer to children's world exploration process. Because sometimes, the beginning of a knowledge journey is not a ready-made answer, but a question that drives children to explore to the end.
With the combination of scientific knowledge, language, and practical experience, Amazing Science opens a close approach to English, suitable for the learning characteristics of primary school students. Not only does it help them expand their vocabulary and develop reading comprehension skills, but the series also encourages the spirit of observation, questioning, and actively seeking answers. From small discoveries in each lesson, children gradually build a foundation of language and scientific thinking, ready to approach broader horizons of knowledge.
