Read about some of the things that engineers design, such as bridges and water systems, to improve life in our communities.
Different problems need different solutions, but engineers follow the same steps to solve them. Discover the path engineers take to find new solutions or improve old ones.
Read about the kinds of jobs that people do as engineers, and how they use math, science, and creative thinking to solve problems.
Earth was a lot different when dinosaurs were alive. They lived alongside many ancient mammals that can no longer be found. Incredible changes on Earth have left us with fossils that scientists use to learn more about the ancestors of today's mammals.
Earth was a lot different when dinosaurs were alive. Lush, deep forests once grew where we now have frozen oceans and glaciers. Even though there have been incredible changes on Earth, there are some ancient plants that are still living today!
Earth was a lot different when dinosaurs were alive. Scientists study important clues that were left behind to learn what kinds of dinosaurs lived where, what they ate, and how fast they could run. Even though there have been incredible changes on Earth, there are still dinosaur relatives living today!
Earth was a lot different when dinosaurs were alive. Back then, the world's oceans were ruled by large sea monsters. Even though there have been incredible changes on Earth, there are still sea monster relatives living today!
It moves, it freezes, it melts. Kids find out that water takes on different forms and that it plays an important role in supporting life on Earth. Includes the water cycle.
Young readers should prepare for this early STEM concept. This book will help early learners get ahead in understanding the concept of the cycle of seasons.
Earth has many natural cycles. Day and night repeat over and over again. Seasons happen year after year. Even plants and animals have cycles. This book helps young readers understand how our life cycle and Earth's cycles work together.
The Rock Band loves to play rock and roll. They go on tour for days. Each band member formed millions of years ago, all in different ways!
This book builds beginning vocabulary about the science of weather. Extremely helpful for elementary science preparation, eight words combine with a visual depiction so readers can see what the word means.

Easy-to-read text and vivid photographs combine to introduce young readers to eco-friendly vehicles. This dynamic new book gives a close-up view of some of the worlds most innovative, eco-friendly rides, including three-wheeled cars, hydrogen fuel-cell busses, segway personal transporters, and electric bikes and scooters.
Young readers will dive right into this exciting new title! Deep-diving Submarines introduces readers to the different parts of a submarine and explains how these vehicles move through the water.
Childrens' imaginations will soar as they learn about different kinds of airplanes including jumbo jets, seaplanes, and stunt planes. This dynamic new book also describes the basic parts and functions of various airplanes.
This informative book explains how Earth is covered by landforms and bodies of water, all of which change shape over time. Interesting images feature landforms such as mountains, valleys, and sand dunes, as well as waterways such as oceans, rivers, and ponds. Children will learn how they develop and why they change.
Earth's surface is constantly being changed by heat, water, ice, salt, plants, and animals. Sometimes the changes are destructive to human activities such as farming and the building of structures. This interesting title shows the different ways people try to stop or reduce this change in the land. Examples feature such structures as dikes to hold back water and windbreaks, and adding shrubs, grass, and trees to an area of land to prevent erosion. Teacher’s guide available.
This exciting book explains how the shape of Earth can change with the sudden movement of Earth's crust or when molten rock explodes out of an opening in Earth's surface. Young readers will be fascinated to discover how volcanoes form - destroying the landscape and creating new landforms at the same time. They will also learn about tectonic plates and fault lines, the damage earthquakes can cause, and how to stay safe when an earthquake happens.
This fascinating book explains how the shape of Earth is changed by weathering and erosion - the breaking down of rocks and minerals which are then carried from one place to another by water, ice, wind, and gravity. It is this movement that carves out valleys, causes trees to topple over, and creates or destroys good farmland. Examples of changes to landforms help show young readers the effects of weathering and erosion, which can happen quickly or sometimes take centuries!
Read about the things that change outdoors with the season, including the hours of sunlight and the temperature.
Read about the kinds of jobs that people do as engineers, and how they use math, science, and creative thinking to solve problems.
Engineers don’t give up when they fail to solve a problem. Discover why learning from mistakes helps guide engineers to find the best solution.
Read all about primary colors, and how they mix together to make secondary colors.
