Science Explorers

Tracing humankind back to its origins, this book teaches readers Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and explains how we grew into the humans we are today. As students navigate this evolutionary path, they'll get a glimpse into various stages of development. Beginning with DNA and continuing on to explain how cells operate, this comprehensive guide covers it all. Plant, human, animal, this book reminds students that we're all connected in one way or another.

Readers learn all about their bodies, from head to toe. Students will find out about the complex systems that allow our bodies to walk, talk, and think. The brain, heart, lungs, stomach, bones, and reproductive system are all covered in this comprehensive anatomical book, but that is not all. Readers will also study how our bodies work to protect us under threat, illness, and injury and how we're able to heal and recover when we get sick or injured.

Most of us have heard of Albert Einstein, but how many of us actually know and understand his theories and, later, discoveries? Looking back in time, this book introduces students to Einstein and another famous scientist, Isaac Newton. Centered on the findings of the two researchers, this book uncovers the inner workings of gravity, heat, electricity, energy, and light. This book provides readers with the knowledge they need to understand simple things that are part of our daily lives: keeping our feet on the ground, playing with magnetic toys, and listening to music, to name just a few.

As we continue to make technological advances, the need to teach students about this ever-changing field becomes increasingly important. This book teaches students about different machines, including engines, computers, and airplanes, and how they work. In doing so, students will begin to see just how big of an impact technology has. By the book's end, readers will have just as many new questions as they do answers. Ending with a discussion about genetic engineering, which is being researched and talked about more now than ever, students will become eager to learn more about the world of technology.
