You are very lucky if your school gets new books every year...some school districts cannot afford to get new books at all, let alone every year! Be grateful...

Our school updates science curriculum every 7 years. If public schools update them every year (which I find difficult to believe, since the cost is enormous) then 1) they must have a grant to get new textbooks each year and 2) they must be in a state that has constantly evolving state standards that students must meet. (Which I find hard to believe that states would be able to update new standards every year -- it's not a quick process).

Because each year the boards that publish the books update any information that is printed in the books. They need to do this because each year standards organisations review set figures and sometimes alter figures in terms of degrees of accuracy. Also the syllabus changes from year to year, and so the content must be changed along with it.

The schools don't change science books every year, you do.
As you move into a different grade you will learn from a different textbook. lol

Because scientists are learning new things everyday. And if our kids are going to school to learn, it's best that the school have updated material, so that we can all learn together. Nice, huh?
