Synopsis

Life Science introduces students to the ways humans, plants, and animals are created, and how living things exist on our planet. There are diagrams of parts of the human brain and body, as well as of simpler life forms. Fact boxes spell out the basics of life, and sidebars cover subjects such as carnivores and herbivores. All of this knowledge is enhanced with an easy-to-understand question and answer format.

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 4-6-Though brief, each volume in this standout series is packed from cover to cover with valuable facts and fascinating images not found in most other books for this age group. Students will discover "Key Facts" about each topic as well as "General Information" in sidebars that complement the dense primary text. That being said, each subject is broken down into smaller subtopics (for instance, Life Science consists of six categories: "Science of Life," "Human Body," "Senses and Organs," "Simple Creatures," "Plant Life," and "Ecology"), making the material easier to navigate and understand. Following each of these subcategories is a question-and-answer segment in which five to seven queries are asked and explained. The breathtaking photos of the natural world provide further information and are at times fun additions, too, such as the image of a woman reading a book while floating in the Dead Sea. VERDICT Highly recommended offerings.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
