Life introduces young children to the scientific discipline of biology, the study of living things. Fundamental science facts are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations and photographs. Children will discover that living things require food, grow and move, and reproduce. These characteristics distinguish living things from nonliving things. Children will also learn that living things are found everywhere, from mountaintops to the bottom of the ocean, and living things come in many sizes from huge to tiny. A pronunciation guide for scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.

In the leveled reader Animals, fundamental science concepts in biology are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers discover that there are many different kinds of animals that look different from each other. Animals have different characteristics such as fur, scales, or wings, and have different numbers of legs. Animals live almost everywhere: in the ground, in water, and in trees. Some animals live in houses and some build their own houses.A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.

Sea stars are in a group of animals called echinoderms. They live in salt water and have spiny skin, 5 or more arms, a flat body with mouth and tube feet on the underside, and an eye on the tip of each arm. They are different sizes and colors.

Energy Is a simply written, colorful reader that introduces young readers to a basic concept in physics. Energy is what is needed to do work. Work happens when force moves an object. Force is any action that changes the location, shape, or speed of an object. Food gives the body the energy it needs to do work. Energy comes in many forms, including food, batteries, and gasoline. A pronunciation guide for scientific terms is included. 24 full color, illustrated pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.

Introduce young students to the physics concept of force in this simply written, colorful book. Young readers learn that force is described as any action that changes the location or shape of an object or how fast or slowly it moves, which is called speed. Examples of force are given. Includes a pronunciation guide for scientific terms. 24 full color pages with many engaging illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.

What Is Physics? Is a simply written, colorful book that introduces young readers to the scientific discipline of physics. Kids will discover that physicists ask lots of questions about how the world works. How fast can a kid run? What happens when a ball is thrown? Why does popcorn pop? How can birds and planes fly? How heavy are objects? Using tools helps physicists answer questions.24 full color illustrated pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5. Includes a pronunciation guide for scientific terms.

In the Proteins leveled reader, fundamental science concepts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Children will discover that a protein is a polymer-a long chain of atoms and molecules linked together. Atoms are the tiny building blocks that make up everything we touch, taste, smell, and see, and atoms link together to make molecules. Protein polymers fold into different shapes, including coils and sheets. The different shapes allow proteins to behave like tiny machines that do most of the jobs inside the body. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 2-5, Interest Level 2-5.

In the French Fries and Fizzy Pop! leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations and photographs. Children discover that atoms are like little building blocks that make up everything we touch, taste, smell, and see. Atoms link together to make molecules. Molecules cause different foods to have different flavors, such as sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. We taste things because the tongue is able to detect different types of molecules. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.

In the Atoms and Molecules Meet leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Children will discover that everything we see, touch, and taste is made of atoms. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter and can link together to make molecules. Electrons on the atoms form the links, or bonds, in molecules, and atoms and molecules can bond to make more molecules.Children will learn that chemical reactions occur when atoms and molecules link together and also when molecules break apart. These chemical reactions must follow rules that state which atoms and molecules are able to link. Several examples of reactions are given, showing some different atoms and molecules they can form. Examples are also given of ways in which some chemical reactions can been seen; for example, as indicated by bubbles, fire, small particles forming, or color change. Chemical reactions are occurring all the time, and examples of reactions that happen in everyday life are shown.A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
