All About Temperature Gravity All Around All Kinds of Motion The Power of Energy

by Rebecca WEBER
978-1-42966-608-4.
COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 2—With five lines of text on the left page of each spread and a full-page photo on the right, each of these titles addresses its topic in a direct and simple manner. Certain concepts are explained well but others are not as clear. Temperature's discussion of how a thermometer works is excellent, as is Motion's explanation of how wind is formed and how hot-air balloons rise. However, in the latter book, readers learn that water moves, but never the causes behind the movement. Each title includes a hands-on experiment with both textual and visual directions; the activities in Temperature and Motion are superior to those in the other titles. A link to Capstone's Facthound.com is included, where readers can find up-to-date, age-appropriate websites.
