Considering aspects of science through its rhythms and cycles, this series approaches science by providing a simple framework for explaining the relatively complex concepts of astronomy, biology, physics, chemistry and biology. This text looks at the recycling of materials. It explores the idea of the disruption of natural cycles and shows how human actions can affect the balance of nature and what can be done to redress the balance.

Considering aspects of science through its rhythms and cycles, this series approaches science by providing a simple framework for explaining the relatively complex concepts of astronomy, biology, physics, chemistry and biology. This text looks at food cycles. It explores the idea of the disruption of natural cycles and shows how human actions can affect the balance of nature and what can be done to redress the balance.

Food Cycles (Cycles in Science)

The topics covered in this series are specifically chosen to help children to develop a sense of 'awe and wonder'. They are topics that children and teachers love and now meet perfectly the need of a more creative curriculum. Each topic is closely keyed into the requirements of different subjects in the national curriculum to provide a cross-curricular project. The books can also be used to provide additional activities to topics and modules already established in a school to generate extra interest. Activities are provided for children aged from 5 to 11 - enabling teachers to find activities at a level suitable for all their children - extending the more able and supporting the less able. This also means that the books are ideal for teachers who have to teach mixed aged classes and enables topics to be used throughout the whole key stage or school. Children of all ages are fascinated by the rainforest - where they are in the world, the plants, animals and people that live there, their disappearance and their protection. This book shows how this natural enthusiasm for a topic can be used as a basis for developing geography and science, motivating children to explore and think independently using their knowledge and skills. Topics explored include: where are rainforests?; rainforest plants; invertebrates; rainforest people; disappearing rainforests; and, saving the rainforest.

Magnets (Ways into Science)

A very simple science series that introduces the first concepts that surround the physical sciences. The text combines statements and questions in such a way that develops a child's understanding of science as well as the language related to it. It also builds confidence by helping children appreciate the science they already know. Simple experiments are also included in the text and exercises introduced which promote skills in sorting and handling data. MAGNETS looks at how magnets attract and repel each other and magnetic materials, while FLOATING AND SINKING considers what materials float or sink and why. The author, Peter Riley, has developed the projects in a classroom context working with reception and Year 1 classes. He has incorporated aspects of both KS1 curriculum and the desirable outcomes for younger learning and ensured the text is appropriate for use in literacy as well as science. Illustrated in full colour with photographs, most of which have been specially commissioned for the books.

MATERIALS looks at the variety of materials and their properties, while CHANGING MATERIALS considers materials' different states and the effects of heat. The author, Peter Riley, has developed the project in a classroom context working with reception and Year 1 classes. He has incorporated aspects of both KS1 curriculum and the desirable outcomes for younger learning and, by testing, ensured the text is appropriate for use in literacy as well as science.
