REVIEW:
This book is amazing for anyone who loves to discover what is contained within the things we use, see and experience all the time.  There is so much to read about and learn. You can explore and read your way through or chose to read the chapters and/or areas of interest one at a time. The chapters include: Beam Me Up, Home is Where the Fridge Is, School of Cool, Extreme Fun, Here to There and Even More. I have been reading this book for a while now and every time I read it I learn a bit more. I just love how well organized this book is. There is a well detailed glossary and an index, that allows the reader to easily find areas of interest. There are tidbits of information for quick reference too, which is great for creating talking points with the kids.  I love this book so much and I cannot wait to use this book over the winter with my kids and to teach them all about the science contained in this awesome book.  Just because we are stuck inside does not mean we need to be bored! 


Food chemistry, atom crashing, wave power, food chemistry, and robots! These are just a few of the topics covered in this fantastic new science encyclopedia, which presents a comprehensive overview of physical and life sciences from A to Z. Super smart and kid-friendly, it’s packed with full-color photographs, weird but true facts, amazing statistics, do-it-yourself experiments, plus profiles of scientists and National Geographic's explorers who rock the world of science. Keep up with the changes happening all around us with this stellar science reference book.

REVIEW:

This book is one of the BEST I have seen! It is awesome how it is laid out!!! It is like a vision sensation! There is so much to look at and read! I am sure that you could read this over and over and over and learn something new. Here is a fun tidbit:  In 2013, scientists discovered fossils of a new species of human relatives in a cave in Africa.  Learn about this and so many more awesome and wacky facts in this book! It is jam packed with things that I find fun, interesting and oh so interesting! My kids are going to love this book so much too.


This fun book of quirky failures and famous flops will keep kids laughing while they learn the importance of messing up in order to get it right.  Science, architecture, technology, entertainment -- there are epic fails and hilarious goof-ups from every important field. Silly side features help to analyze the failures: "Lesson Learned," "It Could be Worse!," "Losing Combinations," and a "Fail Scale" help readers navigate the different kinds and scopes of the mistakes made. Read to learn what went wrong, what went right, and what kids can learn from each failed attempt.
