Simple Machines (Rookie Read-About Science)
Simple Machines (Rookie Read-About Science)
Product #:
0516273108
Description:
This is one of many books in a series of "Rookie Read-about Science" books. As an introduction to a scientific concept, in this case simple machines, it is clear, well-written and easy to understand. As perhaps one of the first science books a child will pick up, it should capture interest due to the everyday examples the author uses to demonstrate the concepts. Each of the four types of simple machines—levers, inclined planes, wheels and axles, and pulleys are explained through photographs of items that children see, use or play on every day. Children will learn that both a bottle opener and a seesaw are kinds of levers. They will learn that ramps and screws are both inclined planes. Before they know it, this short, to-the-point little book will have taught them concepts that they will build on in science classes to come. It is worth adding to the elementary school library, along with the many other well-designed books in this series. Reviewer: Kathleen Orosz
