Our Sun is the nearest star and the center of our solar system, but there are billions of stars in the universe. Stars spend their lives making energy. They give off light and heat. This book explores what stars are made of, the different types of stars, what the lifespan of a star is, and the different colors and constellations they form. Learn all the facts on these powerful objects that give us so much enjoyment to look at. This book never shined so bright! This book allows students to use observations of the Sun, Moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
Bang! Scientists think the universe started with the Big Bang, an explosion that created the universe about 13.7 billion years ago. The universe is still expanding. Its spreading out faster as it ages. It is everything thats anywhere! Where do you live in it? And what else is out there? This book is out of this world with facts that represent the large space that is our universe. This book will allow students to understand that patterns in the natural world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.
What has a head, two tails, and shoots across the sky? A comet. Coming from the far edges of the solar system, most comets travel around the Sun, while meteors appear as flashing streaks of light in the night sky. Explore these amazing celestial wonders as they zip through space! The physical characteristics of each are identified in detail. This book wont come crashing down! Its filled with Fun Facts that give additional information on this exciting science topic. This book allows students to use observations of the Sun, Moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
Our solar system is made up of the millions of objects in the sky above us, including the Sun, moon, stars, and planets. This book examines the four planets closest to the Sun, known as the rocky planets. All four planets are described with facts about their atmospheres, landscapes, orbits, and Fun Facts that give additional information about each of these rocky planets! This book will allow students to use observations of the Sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
The four planets farthest from the Sun are called the gas giants. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are different from the other planets in our solar system. They are not solid, but are made of liquids and clouds of gas with gravity pulling it all together into a planet shape. Learn facts about the climate, gases, size, and other quirky things each of these planets possess. This book isnt filled with hot air! Pull out your telescope and see if you can observe one of these planets. This book will allow students to understand that patterns in the natural world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.
Five and counting! So far, astronomers have discovered five dwarf planets in our solar system. Pluto, which was once thought of as the ninth planet, is today classified as a dwarf planet. This book looks at the dwarf planets characteristics, size, and orbital patterns, as well as the three rules scientists follow to identify these tiny, round space objects. Every day new discoveries are being made. Who knows how many dwarf planets we will find in the future! This book will allow students to understand that patterns in the natural world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.
Our closest solar system is about 10 light years away. It has two main types of planets. Some are rocky and small, like planet Earth, while others are huge balls of gas, like Jupiter. Astronomers once thought our solar system was the one and only. But now we know of hundreds of solar systems. One may even have a planet like Earth! Just maybe, these alien worlds could host life, like our own amazing planet. This book allows students to use observations of the Sun, Moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.
