What is hibernation? Where do different animals hibernate? Which animal hibernates for more than six months? Animal hibernation follows a pattern. Most animals hibernate when it becomes too cold and it is hard to find food. They go into a deep sleep until it gets warmer. Read ‘Hibernation’ to find out why this pattern happens.

How do plants get their food? Why do plants need stems? What is a bulb? Plant life cycles are patterns. Seeds grow into plants and make more seeds, which grow into new plants. Read ‘Plant Life Cycles’ to find out why this pattern happens.

What is the water cycle? Why do clouds form? What does “evaporate” mean? Water can be a liquid, a solid, or a gas. Water evaporates from the sea, forms clouds, falls as rain or snow onto the land and into rivers and streams, which then flow back to the sea. Read this book to find out why this pattern happens.
