Once again, accompany Josh and Hanna as they learn about simple machines, work and energy, the water cycle, geology, natural resources, and marine life.
Like Behold and See 1, this Catholic science worktext teaches science in the context of the family. The result? Young students learn that they too, like Josh and Hanna, can use science concepts to understand the marvels hidden in the world around them. Frequent hands-on activities reinforce lessons and spark children’s wonder.
Behold and See 2 users need no additional workbooks, teacher’s manuals, or answer keys: all lessons, activities, and explanations are found within the worktext. Topics include:
- Simple Machines, Work, and Energy
- God Provides Water for the World that He Created
- Natural Resources: God’s Gifts to Man
- The Earth on Which We Live
- Marine Life: Living Things in the Oceans

Nancy Nicholson is one of the founding authors of Catholic Heritage Curricula. Equipped with an abundance of God-given talent, a major in Secondary Education–English, and years of experience homeschooling her own children, she has written over thirty educational titles, beginning with Little Stories for Little Folks. Her unique ability to develop programs and workbooks that “fit” both advanced and struggling students is due to her experience raising children of different ability levels and learning styles: two of her children are developmentally challenged, while another went on to graduate from Cornell and is now a college professor.
Mary Piecynski was a veteran homeschooling mom, a certified teacher, and completed a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s in Education. She taught science and other subjects in both elementary and secondary grades and tutored science at the university level. She passed away in 2023.
