Thermometers are so important in our daily lives. We consult them to know how to dress before going outside. We check our temperature when we think were sick. We even use thermometers when were cooking and baking in the kitchen. Thermometers are everywhere, but theyre also important tools of science. In this engaging volume, with the aid of appealing photographs and an instructive activity, readers will learn how scientists of all ages use thermometers and how they can, too.

Observing objects closely is an important part of being a scientist. Thats why lenses are so important in the laboratory and in the science classroom. Young scientists may be surprised to learn that theyve probably already used lensesin the form of a magnifying glass. This tool and others, such as microscopes, help scientists see details of objects up close. This invaluable book introduces lenses and the concept of optics in an easy to understand way and encourages readers to experiment with lenses themselves!

Measuring cups are essential in the kitchen, but theyre also crucial in the science lab. Scientists need to be precise in their experiments to test their hypotheses, and science tools such as cylinders for measuring volume aid them in their important research. This appealing book shows that young scientists, too, can use measuring containers for their own science experiments. Important STEM concepts such as volume and units of measurement are explained in a comprehensible manner.
