Where do you live – in an apartment block, a townhouse, a cottage in the country? Sounds nice but it’s a bit ordinary, isn’t it? What if you lived somewhere really special – in a fairy tale castle with tall spires and steeples, for instance?
Leo is a genius. His pet cat named Pallas is not! But together they come up with some brilliant inventions based on maths shapes. And all this - more than 30,000 years ago! Cubes covers the essentials of this geometrical shape, its functions and applications.
Three-dimensional shapes are everywhere! Learn about the properties of three-dimensional shapes like cylinders, prisms, cubes, and cones with this vibrant book. This title encourages young readers to practice geometry and STEM skills, teaching them how to identify familiar three-dimensional shapes and find bases, faces, vertices, and more! Vibrant images, simple practice problems, and clear mathematical diagrams help readers while encouraging them to find three-dimensional shapes all around them!
Rafferty's Rogues presents an exciting and entirely novel approach to a range of maths topics. This gang of lovable rogues have big, bad ideas but their limited knowledge of mathematics means every bold adventure ends in failure. The dumbest ambush ever gives the lowdown on time, time measures, day length, analogue, and digital recording, early clocks, calendars and diaries, and lots more.
This book explores the materials that come from the earth’s rocks and minerals and which can be used to create paint pigments, explosives, building materials, even photo sensitive surfaces in old cameras and modern day glass. It also looks at the way rubber is extracted to make useful objects such as tyres and rubber bands. The book also examines the contribution made by the famous discoverer of the radioactive material, radium, Marie Curie.
This book discusses the creatures, plants, and geysers of Yellowstone National Park.

The book examines the ways we move across our planet on land, on and in the water, in the air, and in space. And it looks at the science that lets us! A combination of action photography and both factual and cartoon illustrations,bring this STEM-based project alive.
Scientists tell us that 99.99% of ALL animal and plant species that have ever existed ARE NOW EXTINCT. What does 'extinct' mean and why does it happen? This book looks at the strange and very different kinds of animals that have walked the planet and which we will never see.

Bossy Blue is a crayon with a problem.He doesn't like grey and he wants to colour all the grey things blue including grey elephant. And now the elephant has a problem and while Bossy finds it a huge joke, the other crayons must set about returning the elephant to its right colour.
This book explores the energy produced by the wind and moving air generally to power machines such as the windmill and wind turbine, and to help people and objects travel both at speed and more slowly through the air. It also looks at the way chemical energy can be stored and used and examines the contribution made by the famous inventor of the dynamo, Michael Faraday.
This book explores the simple machines that help reduce effort, that help lift or move loads or speed up work. Useful machines such as the wheelbarrow, crane and plow use levers, pulleys and wheels and axles, while the screw and rudder can help change the direction of moving water. The book also examines the contribution made in the 1400's by the famous Italian inventor, Leonardo da Vinci.
Leo is a genius. His pet cat named Pallas is not! But together they come up with some brilliant inventions. Full of brainy ideas and way ahead of his (Stone Age time, Leo tackles inventions that will change the way people live and work for hundreds of years to come. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) forms an important focus of learning in schools worldwide.
