Respiration and Photosynthesis by Donna Latham

There are relevant experiments, activities, quizzes, information on safety, applications to the real world, and historical perspectives. Vocabulary words and important information and definitions are underlined and in bold to engage the young reader. Each chapter contains concise introductions emphasizing the specific content, and key questions and answers to help students understand the science. Each book is designed with colorful pages and large graphics and photographs in an easy-to-read format. Katarina Isenberg, Boulder City High School Clark County School District Library Services 3/12/10, This series is divided into two sets, Life Science and Physical Science.

There are links to sites and other books for further information. The illustrations help give you a better understanding of Photosynthesis and its vitalities to plants and organisms. She is a self-publishing cartoonist, librarian at the Schulz Graphic Novel Library in White River Junction, muralist at Dartmouth College and staff writer for the comics journalism site, THE BEAT.A discussion of plants' ability to change sunlight into energy, with illustrations, charts, graphs, and a timeline, covering terms and concepts associated with photosynthesis, food chains, and ecosystems. Jen Vaughn received her MFA from the Center for Cartoon Studies. She is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and the Society of Midland Authors.

In Bridges and Tunnels: Investigate Feats of Engineering, children will explore their own engineering and building skills as they create several bridge models.ĭonna Latham is an award-winning author and playwright. They'll experiment with a triangular toothpick dome, liquefaction, and corrosion.

They'll make an egg bungee jump and a soda pop can engine. Children will engage in a hands-on exploration of Newton's Third Law of Motion and of forces that push and pull on structures. Activities and projects encourage children to learn about the engineering process and to embrace trial and error. Trivia and fun facts illustrate engineering ingenuity and achievements.

Bridges and Tunnels: Investigate Feats of Engineering invites children ages 9 and up to explore the innovation and physical science behind structures our world depends on. People have tackled seemingly insurmountable obstacles, including vast canyons and mountain ranges, to design and construct these amazing passageways.
