DK Encyclopedia of Science
You’ll find anything you want to know about science in this bestselling volume that covers science topics in encyclopedia fashion. This book is fabulous for teaching science to your 10- to 15-year-old. Conveniently arranged by field of science: Matter, Reactions, Materials, Forces and Energy, Electricity and Magnetism, Sound and Light, Earth, Weather, Space, Living Things, How Living Things Work, and Ecology. Easy to use as a springboard for unit studies.
I use this to teach science, just taking the table of contents and planning for one topic per science class, supplementing with other resources. Includes more than 100 biographies of scientists and inventors, has a 24-page fact-finder reference section, and more than 18,000 entries! Contains the latest up-to-date information on scientific subjects, from matter to space travel. (As expected, there are some pages on evolution.) Ages 10 years to adult. Paperback, 447 pages, full of color photographs and drawings. |
