Look at Earth Science

Environmental science is a broad field that incorporates life science, physical science, and earth science. Environmental scientists may find themselves locating a source of water pollution, working to save a species of animal in an area, or educating the public about a health issue. Readers will learn more about this essential science and its practical applications in this well-researched book, written especially to be accessible to a wide range reading skills. Beautiful photographs are matched closely with the motivating text to aid comprehension, and a concluding graphic organizer promotes further consideration of the curricular topics.

Climatology, the study of Earth's climate, has become a science in the news because of growing concerns about climate change and global warming. Climatologists also work with people to figure out how communities can deal with the climate they experience as well as changes that may come. This beneficial book, a valuable asset to any science library, is written especially to explain climate and related earth science issues to struggling and reluctant readers. Bright photographs are matched closely with the text to aid reading comprehension, and a concluding graphic organizer allows for further review of important concepts.

Oceanography, or oceanology, is the study of all parts and processes of the oceans, including marine life-forms. Scientists know that the ocean's health is tied to the planet's health, so study of this science has become more critical as people battle climate change, pollution, and species extinctions. This valuable text is crafted to be motivating and accessible for readers of varying proficiency levels. Stunning photographs correlate with the text to aid reading comprehension, fact boxes add interesting and supporting information, and a concluding graphic organizer allows further review of key concepts.

For thousands of years, people have been fascinated by the stars in the sky. Astronomy-the study of everything outside Earth's atmosphere-remains one of the most exciting sciences today. Modern scientists can use their knowledge of math, science, and technology to find out about planets, stars, comets, asteroids, and their movement in our solar system and others. Through motivating yet accessible text, this volume allows readers of varying proficiency levels to better understand essential concepts of astronomy, including the tools used and the latest discoveries. Vivid photographs support the text to aid reading comprehension, and a concluding graphic organizer encourages further review of key concepts.

Geology is an investigation of Earth's history. Geologists are detectives looking for clues in rocks, soil, earthquakes, volcanoes, fossils, and more. But geology isn't just about Earth's past, it's also about predicting changes to come, which is critical knowledge to Earth's inhabitants. This intriguing text, written with struggling and reluctant readers in mind, provides a helpful overview of this field of science and its applications in real life. Fact boxes delve deeper into curricular subjects for the curious reader, while beautiful full-color photographs closely correlate with the text to aid reading comprehension.

We need to know the weather. It helps us make good decisions about how to dress for the day-or how to prepare for a hurricane. Meteorology, the study of weather and how it changes, is essential to our daily lives. This beneficial book, written for readers of varying proficiency levels, explains how meteorologists do their job, including the technology and tools that help them forecast. Fact boxes further shed light on curricular topics while carefully chosen photographs help with reading comprehension.
