What goes up must come down! How often have you heard this saying? This typically refers to the effects that gravity has on objects. Without gravity our lives and surroundings would be very strange! Let this physical science book pull you into learning about the power of gravity both on Earth and out of this world. Teach third-grade students about mass, weight, inertia, gravity, and more with the colorful images and fun facts in this high-interest informational text. Featuring a hands-on "Think Like a Scientist" lab activity that is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards, this book helps students apply what they've learned in the text and supports STEM instruction. Helpful diagrams and text features, such as a glossary and index, are also included to improve content-area literacy.

      Gr 3-5-Maintaining a steady balance between general concepts and specific facts, these surveys are apt to stimulate broader interest in science and nature as well as provide helpful information for elementary level reports. Some topics are trimmed to fit, while others are more detailed. Changing Matter includes plasma as the "fourth state" to solids, liquids, and gases (and features a crowd-pleasing infographic showing what happens when solid food changes to gas in the human stomach). Predict It! is a wide-ranging introduction to using the scientific method to test hypotheses, and the authors of both Photosynthesis and Gravity cleverly bring the water cycle into their purviews. Examples are well chosen for the intended audience, too. Each volume's easily digestible narrative is enhanced with a mix of photographs and cartoon images or schematics and capped with a pair of very low-overhead individual or group projects. VERDICT Both the content and the lively presentations will leave readers pleased as well as better informed.
