Books in The Science of the Body series

From tides to marine life, it is an eye-opening introduction to the nature of oceans and what they contribute to life on Earth.The surface of our planet Earth is more than two thirds (72 percent) covered by water. We call small stretches of water "seas" and larger expanses "oceans," but they are all part of one gigantic World Ocean that is moving and changing-and affecting our lives-all the time. Without seas and oceans, we would not survive. But where did all this water come from? What does it do? Why do we need it?This fascinating guide to the world's oceans combines fact-packed, easy-to-read text with colorful and quirky illustrations.

These sixteen volumes of fun-packed science projects and experiments introduce readers to basic science principles. Full-color photographs and easy-to-follow text guide children through creative experiments using common materials, while practical examples relate each experiment to the world around us. “The handsome design and illustration of the series make it an inviting choice for library collections.” -Booklist “Clear, well-spaced photographs, good instructions, and appropriate warning typify this series of experiment books for middle graders.”-The Horn Book
