There are 15 interest-filled units in this book ranging from The Salmon of Knowledge, Helen of Troy, Christopher Colombus and Tom Crean to Life in Ireland during World War 2. Each lesson identifies new terms and vocabulary that children will encounter. These are explained either in the Key Vocabulary Section or within the text. This feature is incorporated in all books of the series. There are two projects at the end of the book which allow the children to work as historians.
