heat

Presents an introduction to chemical energy, explaining the different sources of energy, how energy is stored, and how chemical energy is converted to other forms, including the concepts of heat, combustion, temperature, and enthalpy, and more.

During a long hot summer, Clifford tries many things to keep cool.

Discusses different ways people keep cool in the summer, including spending time in the shade, sweating, using fans and air conditioners, swimming, staying hydrated, and eating cold foods. Includes a list of further resources, a glossary, and a list of words used in the text that help children become better readers.

Presents a collection of simple experiments illustrating the properties of heat. Includes color photographs, a quiz, a glossary of science terms, and further resources.

"In Wildfires, early fluent readers learn about the conditions that lead to and result from catastrophic wildfires. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text engage young readers as they learn about the deadliest wildfires and what they can do to prevent and prepare for these disasters. Infographics illustrate key concepts, and an activity offers kids an opportunity to extend discovery. Children can learn more about wildfires using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Wildfires also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, a glossary, and an index.Wildfires is part of Jump!'s Disaster Zone series.".

Discusses such aspects of heat as temperature, molecular activity, the laws of thermodynamics, conduction, convection, radiation, and calories.

"Learn all about temperature, and then put your knowledge to use with fun experiments. Build a working thermometer, create a cloud, and more. Each experiment has easy-to-read directions paired with step-by-step photographs, while colorful graphics describe the supercool science at work"--Back cover.

Simple text and illustrations introduce young readers to heat waves, including where and when they happen, what their effects can be and more.

Contains step-by-step instructions for three science experiments about heat, and includes materials lists, notes on how to conduct experiments, and a glossary.

"When you run, you get hot. When you sit still, you get cold. Heat is always moving in and out of our bodies"--Back cover.
