Editorial Reviews

"A solid addition to any science collection . . ."—School Library Journal

From the Publisher

11/01/2020

Gr 3–5—For those who are curious about outer space phenomena, this series covers topics such as the search for alien life and the exploration of the lunar surface. Photos of Jupiter's moons, diagrams of the inside of the sun, and computer animations of black hole collisions are just a few of the images that support the text. "STEM Spotlight" sections profile technology, including the Parker Solar Probe and the theory of Hawking radiation. "Space Fact or Fiction?" asides examine popular beliefs—for instance, whether wormhole travel is possible. To conclude each topic, a link provides instructions for a 3-D printer activity to create models of the Chandra X-ray Observatory or other space-related objects. VERDICT A solid addition to any science collection, but especially useful for schools with 3-D printers.
