Books with author Sally Hewitt

A hands-on first science series that uses fun activities to explore the five senses – hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch. The ideal first introduction to the five senses, Science in Action explores the humanbody using fun experiments and activities. Senses provide all sorts of information aboutwhat is going on around us. The activities in Science In Action encourage young readersto understand how each of their senses work, for example by making their own soundwaves or trying a series of optical illusions. Clear and simple text helps explain tricky scientific topics such as how the tongue tastes different flavours and how our eyes work. Using simple explanations and engaging photos, this book encourages children to think about how their senses work, while taking their first steps into scientific discovery.

This wonderful new book introduces children to the concepts of push and pull, friction, and gravity, as well as how our own muscles use force to push us along. Action-oriented photographs show examples of a huge magnet that attracts or pulls iron, wind pushing a water wheel to make it turn, and a skydivers parachute slowing down the pull of gravity toward the ground.
