The Moon is spherical and much smaller than Earth. It is made of rocks and minerals, like Earth, but has very little air and no liquid water but some ice. The Moon doesn't make its own light but rather reflects light from the Sun, and it orbits the Earth, completing one orbit every month. The Moon looks different from day to day as it moves in its orbit around the Sun. It can look completely round, half-round, or crescent-shaped. The light and dark areas that can be seen on the Moon's surface include craters and lava flows from volcanoes. Craters can form around the opening of a volcano or…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
The Moon is spherical and much smaller than Earth. It is made of rocks and minerals, like Earth, but has very little air and no liquid water but some ice. The Moon doesn't make its own light but rather reflects light from the Sun, and it orbits the Earth, completing one orbit every month. The Moon looks different from day to day as it moves in its orbit around the Sun. It can look completely round, half-round, or crescent-shaped. The light and dark areas that can be seen on the Moon's surface include craters and lava flows from volcanoes. Craters can form around the opening of a volcano or when another object in space hits the Moon. The Moon and Earth both have gravity. Gravity is the force that keeps the Moon in its orbit around Earth, and the Moon's gravity causes ocean tides. Pronunciation guide. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5, Word count 288, Lexile measure 530L.
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.
