Description

The two books are sold as-is. I used these two books for lower elementary science (Pre-K, Kindergarten, and Grade 1). 1. Usborne Junior Illustrated Science Dictionary Vibrant and straight-talking, this illustrated dictionary will help children develop firm foundations for confidence and success in science. Contains clear definitions of over 700 key terms and concepts, with hundreds of useful examples and illustrations. Readers can dip in for quick explanations or read through by subject to grasp the essentials. A perfect accompaniment to homework, and with links to recommended science websites for further information. 2. DK 101 Great Science Experiments Find out how to make a rainbow, build a buzzer, see sound, construct a circuit, bend light, play with shadows, measure the wind, weigh air, and create an underwater volcano. The astonishing variety of experiments are all very easy and entirely safe, with step-by-step text and everyday ingredients. Biology, chemistry, and physics are brought to life, showing budding young scientists that science is all around us all the time. As you have fun trying out experiments with friends and family, core scientific principles are presented in the most memorable way. With chapters covering important topics such as color, magnets, light, senses, electricity, and motion, the laws of science are introduced in crystal-clear text alongside specially commissioned full-color photography for children to understand.
