9/1/04 Science Books & Films
All four of these books by Trudi Strain Trueit follow the same format, which segments the books into four or five chapters divided into subsections, followed by a glossary, additional resources, the author's notes on her sources, and an index. All four volumes include attention-grabbing photography, excellent charts and diagrams, short articles with or without photographs, and vocabulary terms that appear in bold and are explained in context. All four books would be a great addition to a science library, either in an individual classroom or in a science lab for grades four to seven. Students would be able to start with one of these books and then research a topic further.
