One of the most revolutionary machines ever created is one of the most familiar, the car. From huge trucks to two-door coupes, every gas-powered car works the same. Through creative infographics, readers can learn about how a car works as well as the intricacies of many other machines and motors. Simple labels and succinct, informative text accompany each infographic to present readers with facts and processes they can easily use in their STEM classes. Activity suggestions throughout the book add another way readers can connect with the main content and use their infographic knowledge.

Earth science is made up of so many topics: weather, landforms, and even natural disasters. It can take a lot of time to learn about the details of each. Infographics are the perfect way to cover a lot of these subject areas in less time, including why earthquakes happen, the water cycle, and how mountains form, as well as many other parts of the Earth science curriculum. Each chapter aims to involve readers in what they're learning through succinct text and colorful, creative diagrams. In addition, "Try This" boxes suggest activities and questions through which readers can apply their knowledge.

Launching a rocket, getting into orbit, and then landing on a planet are all complicated, multi-step processes that can be difficult to comprehend. This book uses simple, well-designed infographics to make complicated ideas accessible. Covering a variety of STEM topics, this book presents unique information about the solar system, stars, and sun in a visual manner that can help both engage readers and reinforce their knowledge. Activities and questions throughout the book offer readers opportunities to synthesize what they've read and perhaps find ways to use their infographic knowledge in the future.
