"This title explores tools, methods, discoveries, and careers in the Paleontology field. Accompanying the main text are activities from a felt mammoth to soap fossils. These crafts encourage readers to engage with what they learned, solidifying their new knowledge. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards"--Provided by publisher.

Alex is part of the Gumshoe Gang at Watson Elementary and they help solve cases that happen in their school, but this time Alex is the one affected by a crime when someone destroys his Science Fair project.

After worrying about what to do for his science fair project, a young boy takes his mother's suggestion to find the science in his life.

"Kids can perform magical feats with a few simple ingredients and a little help from science. Written by biochemist Cara Florance, 'Science Spells' is the perfect way to engage kids while teaching them about science. Each experiment includes simple instructions, diagrams to follow along with, and an explanation of the science behind each magical experiment"--Provided by publisher.

"[Illustrates] 52 simple, inexpensive, and fun experiments that explore the Earth's surface, structure, and processes. This family-friendly guide explores the wonders of geology, such as the formation of crystals and fossils, the layers of the Earth's crust, and how water shapes mountains, valleys, and canyons"--Provided by publisher.

Kids love activities of all kinds, and projects about plants are the perfect way to engage them in learning crucial curricular concepts such as adaptations, plant parts, photosynthesis, and germination. This beautifully designed volume introduces plant topics, clearly explaining the information learners need to know and the facts that will make them say, "Wow!" Then, step-by-step instructions encourage them to review concepts while completing a related craft or activity, such as creating a leaf stencil, making a plant growth chart, dissecting the parts of a flower, and much more. A final quiz allows reader to assess their understanding of plant facts.

Forces--those that push and pull on objects--are a critical concept in the elementary science classroom. For learners to truly understand this physics topic, they need to see forces in action. This well-designed book takes an up-close look at forces, exploring essential themes such as gravity, magnetism, and friction, through at-level and engaging text that leads into a related high-interest activity, such as making balloon rockets and hovercrafts as well as testing whether objects sink or float. Colorful images accompany both the main information and the step-by-step instructions.
