The Science of Stars: Exploring Matter

32 pp. | ABDO | January, 2016 | Library ISBN 978-1-62403-965-2 $18.95
(4) 4-6 Checkerboard Library: Science in Action series. The physical science topics of sound, light, force, motion, and states of matter are explained through their applications in contexts with broader appeal (Glaciers and Stars are about matter more than their title phenomena). The textbooklike prose, accompanied by stock photographs, detailed diagrams, and well-aligned activities, emphasizes key vocabulary words. Although aimed at elementary-school readers, the concepts are much more advanced. Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard Library: Science in Action titles: The Science of Color, The Science of Glaciers, The Science of Music, The Science of Race Cars, The Science of Roller Coasters, and The Science of Stars.
