Books in Science World series

Physics is the study of matter and energy. Interactions of matter and energy create everything, from the thunderous roar of a waterfall to the crackling sizzle of an egg frying in a pan. Physicists understand those complex events by studying simpler ones. Supporting the Next Generation Science Standards, this book, which features lively text enhanced by full-color images and straightforward activities, illustrates how the study of simple events can improve comprehension of the complex physical world. Readers will hone their observational skills and begin to understand the common threads that link distinct observations.

This program presents science concepts in areas of biology, earth science, chemistry, and physical science in a logical, easy-to-follow design that challenges without overwhelming. This flexible program consists of 12 student texts that can easily supplement an existing science curriculum or be used as a stand-alone course. Reading Level: 4-5Interest Level: 6-12

Ecology isn't just for academics; nonscientists are exposed to it every day. The squirrels in the backyard, the trees and grasses in the neighborhood, and the green energies and fossil fuels powering houses and cars are all part of ecology. Aligning with the Next Generation Science Standards by addressing the interactions, dynamics, and energy in ecosystems, this book educates readers on a variety of ecological issues, including the problems with detergents, the big deal about green plants, and why some animals don't need energy from sunlight for photosynthesis. Through relatable examples enhanced by hands-on activities, interesting sidebars, and vivid photographs, students will learn the scientific principles, implications, and breakthroughs of ecology.
