This collection of twelve STEM picture books by award-winning author Robert E. Wells will spark kids’ curiosity in our universe, from the time of dinosaurs to the present day.
12 engaging and informative volumes provide second through fifth graders with lessons in science and math, from astronomy and weather to biology and measurement. Introducing concepts that offer students a deeper understanding of the subjects at hand, the thought-provoking questions will lead children to ask questions of their own—which is the beginning of all scientific learning! A perfect addition to any classroom or home library.
'Did a Dinosaur Drink This Water?' - This uniquely titled book introduces the water cycle. 'Is a Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There Is?' - This raffish primer on the meaning of "big" delivers a healthy, age-appropriate jolt to common assumptions about proportion and numbers. 'How Do You Lift a Lion?' - A basic introduction to levers, wheels, and pulleys. 'What's Faster Than a Speeding Cheetah?' - A concept book about speed. 'Can You Count to a Googol?' - The author illustrates how our number system builds by powers of 10 and helps develop a concept of what those numbers mean. 'What's Smaller Than a Pygmy Shrew?' - In this presentation that goes from small to infinitesimal, Wells compares the size of a tiny animal (a pygmy shrew) to an insect (a ladybug), which is in turn contrasted with one-celled animals, bacteria, molecules, atoms, and sub-atomic particles. 'How Do You Know What Time It Is?' - With excitement and solid fact, Wells introduces the concept of time and how we measure it. 'What's Older Than A Giant Tortoise?' - After introducing the giant tortoise, a creature that can live "…more than 150 years - longer than any other known land animal," the author offers examples of things that are much older.
