Science in Infographics

Living things come in all shapes and sizes. The animal kingdom is vast, and scientists have separated organisms into groups based on different shared characteristics. What makes animals different from each other? What traits do they have that overlap? Through this engaging book, readers learn all the biological differences that help animals survive and thrive in the wild. Pictograms and infographics make digesting this scientific information easy, and readers who struggle to obtain information from traditional textbooks will find this book especially helpful.

Readers will explore how our senses react to traveling light and sound waves. They'll learn how humans have altered waves to do incredible things, such as building electric guitars and looking through telescopes into space. Accessible language and full-color icons, graphics, and pictograms make this the perfect introduction to scientific concepts, and it is a great solution for those who learn best by visualization.

Natural habitats support all the plants and animals on the earth. However, the home of a camel is very different from the home of an otter. Readers will explore 12 contrasting environments and the geological factors that make each of the habitats so unique, including where they are located and the different animals who call them home. Learning ecological concepts is made easier by colorful and visually pleasing icons, graphic, and pictograms. This is a perfect resource for the student interested in learning a variety of scientific facts.

Physical forces affect us in big and little ways every day. To ride a bike, one must push down on the pedals. To cut through paper with scissors, pressure must be applied. Even Earth and all the planets in our solar system move around the sun by the forces of gravity. Through visually pleasing and informative infographics, readers are presented with scientific concepts that are manageable and that make sense in the context of their everyday lives.

Where do the objects in our lives come from? Everything has a source, and that origin might be surprising. Readers will learn about how chemists study the building blocks of our world, and how materials can be changed by applying different chemical and physical reactions. By utilizing colorful pictographs, icons, and graphics, readers will become immersed in the wonderful world of science. Especially helpful for students who struggle with traditional textbooks, this book will change the way readers look at objects they use every day.

It is estimated that there are over 400 thousand different kinds of plants on earth.
