Covering the basic principles of science, including matter and
materials, energy and forces, and the living world, Pocket Genius:
Science is a junior look at science, teaching young readers what things
are made of, how things move, and how life works. Touching on biology,
chemistry, physics, and more, Pocket Genius: Science answers questions
such as Why do lemons taste sour? Where does electricity come from? How
do plants make their own food? and more to help explain everyday science
in our world.
