"An excellent resource with differentiated questions, clear diagrams and interesting pictures." Charlie Minogue, Head of Science, Aldwickbury School "Children today are growing up in a world where the significance of science is increasingly evident and impinges on many aspects of their lives, generating interest, amazement and curiosity. It is the responsibility of educators to foster and stimulatethese traits and excite children to learn and understand the world of science that surrounds them. This book, the first in a series of 3, is written by experienced teachers of this age range, provides a superb mix of relevant scientific fact, suggested practical activities and exercises. It will excite the curiosity of the young and stimulate their natural demand to know andunderstand more of the world of science about them. So often I hear: 'Grandpa, do you know...?' Children are innately curious and demand knowledge; it is our role to stimulate and guide their development. This book does this in full measure." David Penter, Chairman of the ISEB Science Panel "Fantastic! The most scientifically detailed textbook I know for this age range. A colourful, vibrant book that is jam-packed with great science. Pupils will love to read this in school and at home." Andrew Magnay, New College School, Oxford
