Space Zoo Patrol
Cool Science Dictionary
Ed. by Anthony Gordon Bennett
ABOUT
(Grades pre-K to 3)
Space Zoo Patrol’s Cool Science Dictionary is a wonderful way to introduce kids to the fascinating world of science. Educators are finding that children absorb ideas at a far earlier age than previously recognized, and after kids have mastered “A is for Apple” and “B is for Ball” they can easily move on to “B is for Beaker” and “V is for Volcano”. In Cool Science Dictionary, science comes alive with scientific words that are simply and accurately described and beautifully illustrated.
There are tens of thousands of words in the vocabulary of the scientific community, here we start with 156. Some words are basic and some are more challenging. Some illustrations show scientific settings and some show science used in everyday settings. Cool Science Dictionary includes the six major fields of science: Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Math, and Physics.
With a knowledgeable Foreword by Jim Fowler, former host of TV’s “Wild Kingdom”.
PRAISE
