Books in Where's The series

The amount of water on Earth today is the same amount that will be on it tomorrow. How is this possible? Through understandable descriptions and helpful graphic organizers, readers are introduced to the water cycle. Full-color photographs and fun fact boxes supplement the main content, which takes readers through the cycle step by step. Basic science concepts such as precipitation, evaporation, and groundwater are explored, and readers are presented with an overview of water conservation they can easily implement in their homes.

Many people know that about 70 percent of Earths surface is covered by water. But they may not know that the oceans hold nearly 97 percent of the water on Earth. From the Arctic to the Pacific, these huge bodies of water are important to the health of our planet. Readers learn the different boundaries and characteristics of each of Earths oceans, complemented by full-color photographs both above and below the surface. The main content and fun fact boxes include both the water cycle and geographic information and emphasize other science and social studies curriculum topics, such as conservation.

Despite its ability to ruin a nice day at the park, precipitation is an essential part of the water cycle on Earth. Readers learn how different kinds of precipitation occur, including snow, rain, and hail. In addition, the consequences of too much and too little precipitation are explained, with a special emphasis on conservation and global climate change. Full-color photographs and graphic organizers help readers understand this important science concept as it relates to their lives and the whole of Earth.
