I used this book for my 13-year-old daughter as a supplement to the energy science unit. After we finished each topic in the science unit, I’d have her read the corresponding section in this book on her own the next day. She would then copy her favorite questions (I had her choose 4 per section) and paraphrase the answers in her notebook.
We are currently doing the energy unit and this book has been a great addition to it. The descriptions and feel for the book has been a pleasure to read with my daughter
These question and answer books are great for just flipping through. When you find a question that peaks your interest you can stop and get a brief but detailed answer with pictures. My 8 year old loves to read it and then tell me what he learned.
My kids enjoy the question and answer format of these little science books. They try to guess the answer before reading on. I feel like this really engages them! This is a great companion to the energy unit or fun to read on its own!
This little book is so interesting. It is divided by topic, so it’s really easy to read it all at once or just pick and choose what you want to learn about. The pictures are perfect, and the information is easy to understand.
What is a sonic boom? How do infrared goggles work? Can animals make their own light? This book asks and answers questions about electricity, magnetism, light, heat, wind, and sound that will help children better understand the world around them. With gorgeous graphics, detailed diagrams, and fascinating facts, this book will engage children as well as parents!
