Breathing is essential for life so you can't actually live without it.Breathe in, breathe out ... We all do it, every day and every night. It brings oxygen (a gas in the air) into our lungs. We need oxygen to keep our brains and bodies working properly. Without it-without breathing-we would die very quickly! This breathtaking guide to breathing explores the process of breathing and how disgusting substances like mucus and snot have unexpected uses.

Everyone poops. It may seem pretty gross, but it's perfectly healthy and natural.Poop (also called feces or excrement) is the solid waste that's left after we've digested our food. It's the stuff our bodies can't use for energy or growth, and it passes out of us when we go to the toilet. So poop is really just the final product of our digestive system. In this gut-wrenching guide we will explore how we digest our food, and all the strange side effects of this complex and fascinating process-including burps and farts. We will look at what happens when things go wrong, and how this affects the color, smell, and texture of our poop. We will also find out how poop is not just a smelly waste product, but can actually be useful to us.

Its summer vacation and Ned Bolling is stuck in Maryland. Determined to make the most of his time off, Ned convinces his Science Squad to devote their summer project to tracking down the Chinese Mitten Crab, an invasive species that could be threatening the Chesapeake Bay. Although the crabs are elusive, their environmental and economic impact is devastating. Will the Squads varied awareness campaigns and wide search through the bays waters prove successful? And what counts as success anyway? Welcome to the Science Squad, a citizen science organization for curious kids who love nature and science! Follow along as Squad members journal their efforts to make a difference in the world around them.

This series explores the fascinating forces that govern our bodies and the natural world. From water’s amazing ability to change its form to magnetism, this series gives young readers a chance to see how science can explain both themselves and the world around them.Bright, colourful layouts with child-friendly text.Achievable experiments with clear instructions throughout, designed for hands-on learning using everyday household objects.Includes full glossary of unfamiliar terms, plus notes for teachers and parents with suggestions for further activities.

Part of a series of practical activity books, that includes simple experiments. Each book introduces a basic science concept through projects that can be carried out at home using everyday items. The book also includes tricks and puzzles, together with toys and models to make. While teaching basic science concepts, it encourages children to try new ideas and find out more. The photographs lead the child through the projects step-by-step.
