An interactive guide to encourage children to explore the world of science, giving them a way to build on the science curriculum taught in school. Scientific facts and theories are presented in a fun and fascinating way that will encourage children to learn about the Living World, the Physical and Material World and the Earth and Beyond. Each topic area is de-signed to explain and illustrate the relevant scientific principles and each page spread provides at least one easy to follow, step-by-step experiment to do at home or school. The back of the book lists areas for further study.
