Crabtree Amazing Science Series for Ages 7-10

Books in this series introduce children to scientific phenomena they observe in the world around them on a daily basis: Electricity, Forces and Movement, Light, Materials, Plants, and Sound. The concepts are explained and illustrated in exciting, large,  full-color illustrations. They are picture-book size and the print is large with lots of white space so that young eyes won't be intimidated. Index and glossary are included to make it easy to teach their use.

Amazing Electricity by Sally Hewitt. Crabtree, 2008.  This exciting book introduces children to the concepts of energy, static electricity, and circuits. Fantastic color photographs help show the ways in which we use electricity, how it is created both naturally (even by certain animals!) and in power plants, and how using less electricity created by oil, gas, and coal helps reduce pollution. Hands-on activities and questions to think about increase involvement with the content. 32 pages. BTH-4772. $7.16-D

Amazing Forces and Movement by Sally Hewitt. Crabtree, 2008. This exciting book introduces children to the concepts of push and pull, friction, and gravity, as well as how our own muscles use force to push us along. Action-oriented photographs show examples of a huge magnet that attracts or pulls iron, wind pushing a water wheel to make it turn, and a skydiver's parachute slowing down the pull of gravity toward the ground. Hands-on activities and questions to think about increase involvement with the content. 32 pages. BTH-4773. $7.16-D

Amazing Light by Sally Hewitt. Crabtree, 2008. This intriguing new book introduces children to the sun and the moon, the concepts of reflection and shadow, and the parts of the human eye. Large, colorful photographs show examples of a rainbow and its colors, how a crayfish uses feelers to 'see' in dark caves, and why we see different colors. Hands-on activities and questions to think about increase involvement with the content. 32 pages. BTH-4774. $7.16-D

Amazing Materials  by Sally Hewitt. Crabtree, 2008. This book introduces children to the concepts of solid, liquid, and gas, as well as to the different kinds of materials that things are made from. Colorful photographs help show how things can change shape, which materials are natural and which are man-made, and which kind of materials can be recycled and why. Hands-on activities and questions to think about increase involvement with the content. 32 pages. BTH-4775. $7.16-D

Amazing Plants by Sally Hewitt. Crabtree, 2008.

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail (barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net), since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
