This book touches on energy, matter, cells and light (a form of energy). The pictures are really eye catching. The book has internet links for added fun.

Great classroom library book, also good to use in an intro to science topics of energy, matter or cells. Good for 2nd through 6th grade.

Very interesting and informational book. Includes a lot of colorful pictures and diagrams with corresponding texts which describes and explains the scientific concepts, including gravity, pressure, optical illusions, etc. I also learnt more about different natural materials on earth including plastics, metal, carbon, etc. This book also provided an internet link for readers to checkout and explore more about the topics. I highly recommend this book to all students and science lovers.
