Earth is part of a solar system, which is made of a star and the group of planets and other objects that orbit a star. The Sun is a star and is the center of our solar system. A star is an object in space that make its own light and heat energy. Our solar system contains eight planets, an asteroid belt, and moons around the planets. The inner solar system consists of the first four planets orbiting the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The next group of four planets is called the outer solar system and is made of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The Asteroid Belt is located between…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Earth is part of a solar system, which is made of a star and the group of planets and other objects that orbit a star. The Sun is a star and is the center of our solar system. A star is an object in space that make its own light and heat energy. Our solar system contains eight planets, an asteroid belt, and moons around the planets. The inner solar system consists of the first four planets orbiting the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The next group of four planets is called the outer solar system and is made of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The Asteroid Belt is located between the inner and outer solar systems. An asteroid is a chunk of rocks and minerals too small to be a planet. Asteroids also exist outside the Asteroid Belt. If one of these enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it called a shooting star, or meteor. Comets are also found in the solar system and are objects made of ice, rocks, and dirt. Pronunciation guide included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Rebecca Woodbury received her Ph.D. 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 engaging, kid-friendly curriculum provides 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 for both home school and public school students.
