Energy Physical Science for Kids from the Picture Book
Science series gets kids excited about science!
Do you have a lot of energy? What else has energy? Just about everything
that moves!
When you feel like running, leaping, and singing, people might say you
have a lot of energy. And you're not the only one! Energy is the stuff
that makes everything live and move. People, animals, plants--we all
need energy to live!
In Energy: Physical Science for Kids, young readers discover
different forms of energy, including heat, light, and chemical energy,
that keep the world working and moving. In this nonfiction picture book,
children are introduced to physical science through detailed
illustrations paired with a compelling narrative that uses fun language
to convey familiar examples of real-world science connections. By
recognizing this basic physics concept and identifying the different
ways it is demonstrated in real life, kids develop a fundamental
understanding of physical science and are impressed with the idea that
science is a constant part of our lives and not limited to classrooms
and laboratories. Simple vocabulary, detailed illustrations, easy
science experiments, and a glossary all support exciting learning for
kids ages 5 to 8. Perfect for beginner readers or as a read aloud
nonfiction picture book!
Part of a set of four books in a series called Picture Book Science that
tackles different kinds of physical science (waves, forces, energy, and
matter), Energy: Physical Science for Kids pairs beautiful
illustrations with simple observations and explanations. Quick STEM
activities such as transferring energy from your hands to a ball help
readers cross the bridge from conceptual to experiential learning and
provide a foundation of knowledge that will prove invaluable as kids
progress in their science education.
Perfect for children who love to ask, "Why?" about the world around
them, Energy satisfies curiosity while encouraging continual
student-led learning.
Picture Book Science presents real-world examples of physical science
and engineering topics kids find fascinating! These nonfiction picture
books consist of engaging narratives paired with brightly colored,
whimsical illustrations drawn by an accomplished scientist. With these
books, readers ages 5 to 8 are encouraged to expand their definitions of
the words "force," "matter," "energy," and "wave." Elementary-aged
children are equipped to recognize basic science concepts and identify
the different ways they are demonstrated in real life, while being
impressed with the idea that science is a constant part of our lives and
not limited to classrooms and laboratories.
Titles in the series include: Waves; Forces; Matter; and
Energy.
