In the Atoms and Molecules Meet leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Children will discover that everything we see, touch, and taste is made of atoms. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter and can link together to make molecules. Electrons on the atoms form the links, or bonds, in molecules, and atoms and molecules can bond to make more molecules. Children will learn that chemical reactions occur when atoms and molecules link together and also when molecules break apart. These chemical…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
In the Atoms and Molecules Meet leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Children will discover that everything we see, touch, and taste is made of atoms. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter and can link together to make molecules. Electrons on the atoms form the links, or bonds, in molecules, and atoms and molecules can bond to make more molecules. Children will learn that chemical reactions occur when atoms and molecules link together and also when molecules break apart. These chemical reactions must follow rules that state which atoms and molecules are able to link. Several examples of reactions are given, showing some different atoms and molecules they can form. Examples are also given of ways in which some chemical reactions can been seen; for example, as indicated by bubbles, fire, small particles forming, or color change. Chemical reactions are occurring all the time, and examples of reactions that happen in everyday life are shown. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Rebecca Woodbury received her PhD in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. While home schooling her three children, Dr. Woodbury was unable to find a curriculum that provided a solid foundation in science. She left academia, and using her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, she developed a series of science books for kids. The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in science and gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. "We should not rely on the 'experts' but instead learn how to critically evaluate every scientific claim," states Dr. Woodbury. "In these uncertain times with so many social, scientific, and economic problems, it is not enough to teach our kids what to learn. We must also teach them how to learn, and we must encourage our kids to learn from others. Part of learning from others is to know how to engage in productive debate." The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum, with its engaging, kid-friendly Student Textbooks; Laboratory Notebooks full of real science experiments; and easy to use Teacher's Manuals, provides kids with a solid science education in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This curriculum is used in all 50 states in the US and many other countries. Dr. Woodbury and her publishing team continue to develop and test new products at the Real Science-4-Kids Albuquerque headquarters.
