Summary
Los contenidos se distribuyen por bloques de dos páginas cada uno y cada unidad consta de 3 ó 4 bloques según la extensión del tema a tratar. En las 9 primeras unidades de 3º y las 10 primeras de 4º, se trabajan los contenidos comunes a todo el territorio español (el cuerpo humano, clasificación y anatomía animal y vegetal, etc.) dejando para el último trimestre los temas susceptibles de adaptar a cada Comunidad (ecosistemas, geografía y organización social, etc.). En estas últimas unidades, tras un enfoque general y básico del tema, se particulariza para cada Comunidad Autónoma. También en esta área se establecen bloques de trabajo diferenciados en cuanto a los contenidos y progresivos en relación a ciclos anteriores. Se pasa de conocer "aparatos del hombre" a conocer las "funciones"; los temas que llevan el mismo título se amplían y profundizan; el bloque de Historia que comienza en 5º se acaba en 6º y va desde la Prehistoria a la Edad Contemporánea. No se han hecho los libros de las Comunidades Autónomas porque las unidades 9 a la 12 son específicas de las Comunidades en 5º y en general en 6º (España).
