Children will have fun learning how science is part of their everyday lives with the "First Science" series, a voyage of discovery into the world of science. Bold eye-catching photographs and hands-on activities make these books "child-friendly" -- inviting to look at, interesting topics, and fun activities. The choice of concepts will fit into most primary science curricula, while the activities help to reinforce the concepts presented in the text. These activities will help in enhancing skills like observing, inferring, predicting, classifying, drawing conclusions, and experimenting, and while each activity uses easily-obtained materials, safety warning symbols appear if the activity requires the presence of an adult. In addition to the activities, much of the text is interactive as well, asking the reader questions. "Think About"' pages in each book encourage young scientists to explore further. Each book includes an index.
