Microscopes is a simply written, colorful introduction to an important and commonly used scientific instrument. Young readers will learn that some objects are too small to be seen with the eyes alone, for example, red blood cells and atoms, but a microscope can be used to magnify them to a size that can be seen. A light microscope has lenses for magnifying the sample, a stage to hold the sample, and a light to illuminate it. Red blood cells can be seen with a light microscope. There are also other types of microscopes that can be used to see smaller things, even atoms. Some microscopic images are shown.A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages full of engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
In this easily understood, colorful book young readers are introduced to mushrooms, molds, and yeast, which are types of fungi. Fungi are found almost everywhere. Some are edible and some are poisonous. Fungi come in different sizes, from very small to very big. They do not make their own food but instead eat dead plants and animals, breaking them down into atoms and molecules which are left in the soil. Plants use these atoms and molecules to make their own food, and some plants are then used by animals for food. Mushrooms are connected in the soil, sometimes resulting in "fairy rings."A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages. Engaging, colorful illustrations and photographs. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5. Lexile measure 460L.
In the leveled reader Protozoa, fundamental science concepts of biology are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers discover that protozoa are organisms too small to be seen with only the eyes. Protozoa were discovered by Anton van Leeuwenhoek when he looked at pond water with a microscope, a tool that makes tiny things look bigger. There are thousands of protozoa of different shapes and sizes that live in water. Euglena, paramecia, and amoebas are described and illustrated. A euglena moves by twirling a long tail called a flagellum, uses sunlight to make its own food, and has an eyespot that can detect light. A paramecium swims by wiggling tiny hairs called cilia and also uses the cilia to sweep food into its mouth. An amoeba crawls and eats by using "false feet."A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
In the leveled reader The Cell: A Tiny City, fundamental science concepts in biology are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers discover that atoms make up everything we touch, taste, smell, and see. Atoms link together to make molecules. Frogs, plants, rocks, and stars are all made of molecules, but frogs and plants are different from rocks and stars because frogs and plants have cells. Cells are made of atoms and molecules organized into special molecules, such as proteins and DNA. Proteins are molecules made of long strands of linked atoms. Proteins fold into many different shapes and sizes and do different jobs in cells. DNA is a long strand of linked atoms that contains a code that tells cells what to do. Proteins and DNA work together like a tiny city. In a cell, just like in a real city, different jobs must be performed to make it function.A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
Life introduces young children to the scientific discipline of biology, the study of living things. Fundamental science facts are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations and photographs. Children will discover that living things require food, grow and move, and reproduce. These characteristics distinguish living things from nonliving things. Children will also learn that living things are found everywhere, from mountaintops to the bottom of the ocean, and living things come in many sizes from huge to tiny. A pronunciation guide for scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
Energy Is a simply written, colorful reader that introduces young readers to a basic concept in physics. Energy is what is needed to do work. Work happens when force moves an object. Force is any action that changes the location, shape, or speed of an object. Food gives the body the energy it needs to do work. Energy comes in many forms, including food, batteries, and gasoline. A pronunciation guide for scientific terms is included. 24 full color, illustrated pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
What Is Physics? Is a simply written, colorful book that introduces young readers to the scientific discipline of physics. Kids will discover that physicists ask lots of questions about how the world works. How fast can a kid run? What happens when a ball is thrown? Why does popcorn pop? How can birds and planes fly? How heavy are objects? Using tools helps physicists answer questions.24 full color illustrated pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5. Includes a pronunciation guide for scientific terms.
In the Proteins leveled reader, fundamental science concepts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Children will discover that a protein is a polymer-a long chain of atoms and molecules linked together. Atoms are the tiny building blocks that make up everything we touch, taste, smell, and see, and atoms link together to make molecules. Protein polymers fold into different shapes, including coils and sheets. The different shapes allow proteins to behave like tiny machines that do most of the jobs inside the body. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 2-5, Interest Level 2-5.
In the French Fries and Fizzy Pop! leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations and photographs. Children discover that atoms are like little building blocks that make up everything we touch, taste, smell, and see. Atoms link together to make molecules. Molecules cause different foods to have different flavors, such as sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. We taste things because the tongue is able to detect different types of molecules. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
In the Acids and Bases leveled reader, fundamental chemistry science facts are explained through easily understood text and colorful illustrations and photographs. Children discover that everything we see, touch, and taste is made of atoms. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter and can link together to make molecules that have different properties.Acids and bases are two types of molecules that have different properties. Sour molecules, such as those in lemons, are often acids, while molecules that are slippery, such as those in soap, are often bases. Acid molecules contain an "H" group made of one hydrogen atom. Base molecules contain an "OH" group made of an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. "H" groups and "OH" groups give acids and bases their different properties.A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5. Lexile measure 450L.
In the Atoms and Molecules Meet leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Children will discover that everything we see, touch, and taste is made of atoms. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter and can link together to make molecules. Electrons on the atoms form the links, or bonds, in molecules, and atoms and molecules can bond to make more molecules.Children will learn that chemical reactions occur when atoms and molecules link together and also when molecules break apart. These chemical reactions must follow rules that state which atoms and molecules are able to link. Several examples of reactions are given, showing some different atoms and molecules they can form. Examples are also given of ways in which some chemical reactions can been seen; for example, as indicated by bubbles, fire, small particles forming, or color change. Chemical reactions are occurring all the time, and examples of reactions that happen in everyday life are shown.A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
