Reviews
"This series covers a variety of science topics such as matter, energy, and the weather. For example, Earth's Place in Space teaches readers about the solar system, the Milky Way, space exploration, the Goldilocks Zone, meteor showers, black holes, and the Mars rovers. Chunks of text are accompanied by photos or diagrams, making the content easy to digest. Captions help to link the images to the main text, and the images themselves range from archival photos to the latest portrait of a black hole from the Event Horizon Telescope. Directions for a related activity are included in each book, along with another suggested extension activity and text-dependent questions in the back matter. Glossary terms appear in bold print, while other terms of interest are in italics. General ""Before Reading"" suggestions are the same throughout the series. VERDICT Good titles to update science collections and align with NGSS topics. - SLJ Fall 2019"
