The Sun is a star that gives Earth heat and light. There are even more stars than those we can see in the sky. Stars are objects in space that are made of hydrogen and helium gas that make heat and light energy when hydrogen atoms combine to make helium. (Atoms and matter are defined.) Stars are different sizes, both smaller and larger than the Sun. Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri A, and Alpha Centauri B are the stars closest to Earth. Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri B are smaller than the Sun, and Alpha Centauri A is bigger. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, and the amount of…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
The Sun is a star that gives Earth heat and light. There are even more stars than those we can see in the sky. Stars are objects in space that are made of hydrogen and helium gas that make heat and light energy when hydrogen atoms combine to make helium. (Atoms and matter are defined.) Stars are different sizes, both smaller and larger than the Sun. Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri A, and Alpha Centauri B are the stars closest to Earth. Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri B are smaller than the Sun, and Alpha Centauri A is bigger. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, and the amount of light it puts out makes it look closer to us than Proxima Centauri. The largest star we can see is VY Canis Majoris, which is 2000 times bigger than the Sun. Astronomers think most stars have planets orbiting them and are hoping to find another planet like Earth that has life on it. Pronunciation guide included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5, Word count 336, Lexile measure 530L.
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.
