Books in Timeline Science series

Saber-toothed cats, woolly mammoths, and more! Timeline Science: The Ice Age features all the Ice Age favorites as it chronicles Earth's glacial periods and the animals that lived in those icy conditions. From the giants of the Ice Age to cave-dwelling mammals, this kit traverses glacial and interglacial periods, recent discoveries, and future ice ages. After reading each animal profile, kids can unfold the timeline poster, use the included stickers, and build their very own woolly mammoth skeleton!

Smithsonian Timeline Science: Space Exploration is an out-of-this-world adventure chronicling the discovery of the planets, monumental missions, and more! From Copernicus's theory of Earth's revolution around the Sun to New Horizons' mission to Pluto in 2015, this kit includes everything young space explorers need for a comprehensive understanding of space exploration: 64-page guidebook, timeline poster, stickers, and a rocket model to build!

Get ready to experience over 165 million years of dinosaurs in Timeline Science: Dinosaurs! With information backed by the Smithsonian Institution, this kit profiles the ferocious dinosaurs that walked earth during the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. The fun doesn't stop there―modern dinosaur and fossil discoveries and today's dinosaur relatives are also included. After reading about these prehistoric giants, kids can unfold the timeline poster, use the included stickers, then build a T.rex skeleton!
