Synopsis
What kind of mouse has no ears, nose, or feet? A computer mouse! This book teaches students how a mouse and a computer work together. When you move your mouse, the cursor on your screen moves, making it quicker and easier to perform tasks on your computer. All the components of a computer mouse are outlined and give a better understanding of this important and useful computer tool. This book will allow students to make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
Filled with full-color photographs and reading comprehension activities, this book effectively engages students and complements the research of how an important piece of technology works. Computer Mouse allows students to make observations and gather information about a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
Each 24-book features a teacher-focused concept, before- and after-reading activities, a photo glossary, and more, for a well-rounded understanding of the topic. The How It Works series lets young readers explore and research the technology and design of important, everyday things and how they are engineered. With simple-to-follow text and full-color photographs, these books easily engage young learners to discover the inner workings of complex objects and concepts.

Gr 1-3-Intended for a young school-age audience, these books do not shy away from tackling complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way. Even the youngest readers can learn the basics of aerodynamics (Airplanes) and drive gears (Escalators) without feeling overwhelmed. Uncluttered and streamlined, the clean design makes the vibrant images pop without drawing focus away from the content. Questions within the text actively engage readers to think about the science-based ideas critically, and the noteworthy "Photo Glossary" provides the audience with a visual frame of reference by connecting an image from the text to the word it's defining. A "Before and After Reading Activities" section at the beginning of each volume should prove helpful to educators as they integrate STEM titles into the curriculum.
