Grade 4-6 - This engaging overview focuses on what is new and cool in the world of science and technology, covering topics such as animals, earth science, weather, energy, sound, and space. Sixteen science-fair projects are interspersed throughout the text. "Did you know..." boxes offer unusual facts about the subjects; "Famous Face" boxes provide brief biographical sketches; and "Debate" sections highlight some of the more controversial issues, offering both points of view. Packed with more than 600 full-color photos and illustrations, the busy layout will be especially appealing to browsers, while still including a plethora of valuable information. For example, in the chapter on the human body, there is solid coverage of the various systems as well as mention of burping and farting, eye gunk, vomit, and dandruff. This volume is sure to be a hit, especially in libraries that already subscribe to BrainPOP. - Maren Ostergard, Bellevue Regional Library, WA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
