In the leveled reader Photosynthesis, fundamental science concepts in biology are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers discover that photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to make their own food. The green parts of a plant are green because they contain a large, special molecule called chlorophyll. The job of chlorophyll is to catch sunlight and send it the chloroplast, the organelle in plants cells that is the sugar factory. All living things are made of cells, and organelles are small structures inside cells that do certain…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
In the leveled reader Photosynthesis, fundamental science concepts in biology are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers discover that photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to make their own food. The green parts of a plant are green because they contain a large, special molecule called chlorophyll. The job of chlorophyll is to catch sunlight and send it the chloroplast, the organelle in plants cells that is the sugar factory. All living things are made of cells, and organelles are small structures inside cells that do certain jobs. Evergreen plants use photosynthesis all year long, while other plants stop using photosynthesis when the light is low in autumn, causing their leaves to change color. In the spring, plants grow new leaves and photosynthesis begins again. Atoms, molecules, cells, and organelles are defined. 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.
