"The Mission: Science series is a perfect resource to enhance the nonfiction section of a classroom library for grades 4 through 6 or to provide an engaging text to introduce new science topics. Each book goes beyond the typical presentation of content to provide genuinely unique factoids that will make readers ooh and aah. The series also includes a clear and concise glossary with high-level vocabulary, a time line specific to the topic, an accurate and current section about important people, and an easy-to-complete science activity related to the focus of each book. The colorful, bold photographs and illustrations in All About Light and Sound will help students visualize the light spectrum. The diagrams explain light and sound waves and explain the connection between inertia and sound waves. Facts about sound include a clear explanation of the vacuum of space and a lesser-known ""singing sun."" This book is right on the mark with its coverage of artificial light and the Doppler Effect. No stone is left unturned, and students will build the foundation of their future studies as they remember the ways the ear works and find out why dogs can hear such high-pitched sounds.-- ""NSTA Recommends"""
