Hot and Cold (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Opposites attract children to science!

Observing opposites through photos, illustrations, and activities helps children understand and apply scientific concepts. Sidebars highlight amusing, amazing facts at a glance.

Readers learn about temperature, melting and freezing, snow and ice, fire and heat, the effects of food on body heat, and animal adaptations to extreme temperatures.

"A pleasant mixture of illustrations, full-color photographs, and text boxes makes these entries especially appealing...easy-to-read captions next to pertinent photos and illustrations and ends with an experiment. This series stands out for its visually attractive layout and its juxtaposition of opposite concepts". School Library Journal -- February 1997

"The volumes are richly illustrated with high-quality color photographs and drawings that support the text and experiments. The glossary and index in each book are valuable aspects of the text. Children should find the books engaging and informative and will come away with a good conceptual understanding og the various physical properties covered. ..".
