Gravity affects all objects. It pulls them toward one another. Find out more in Gravity, a title in the Everyday STEM series. Everyday STEM lets young readers explore the exciting world of physics.

Light is what makes colors possible. Without light, we would not be able to see anything. Find out more in Light, a title in the Everyday STEM series.

Momentum affects how difficult it is to stop a moving object. A fast-moving train is hard to stop because it has a lot of momentum. Find out more in Momentum, a title in the Everyday STEM series.

Waves are regular patterns of motion. They carry energy from one place to another. Find out more in Waves, a title in the Everyday STEM series.

Find out how maps and math work together. Practice with real world equations! Correlates to emphasis on students applying foundational math skills. Includes text features such as charts and graphs.

Expanding on our popular Let's Explore Science series, this book focuses on Hypothesis, Theory, and Law. All three of these are important in the process of scientific inquiry, which is the way scientists study the natural world. As they explore, they develop explanations based on what they learn from their work. By forming a hypothesis, testing and evaluating theories, and describing the laws that exist in chemistry and physics, students will learn...

The Earth buries its past. Living things that die and then slowly become part of the Earth are called fossils. This is where the skills of a paleontologist come into play. Their job is to find fossils and study them in order to make sense of what was going on here on Earth for billions of years before there were ever human beings. Learn all about the fossil record, the amazing discoveries and where they were found, and what it takes to become one...
