High Flying Science Discovery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Children are naturally curious about nature. This book, among many of the Let's Read and Find Out Science books, is a wonderful book that helps children learn more about the world around them. As with most of the books in this series, it opens with a story-line to which kids can easily relate, like watching birds go from tree to tree. Beautiful illustrations which also label the birds will assist children in beginning to identify birds. Children are introduced to vocabulary such as: 1. migrating 2. Ornithologist Children will learn about a widely held past theory about why birds seemed to "disappear" in the winter. They will discover a few leading theories as to how birds currently "find their way," including directional navigation (North, East, West, South) and the possible use of the Earth's magnetic field. There is a wonderful chart at the end of the book which illustrates the various heights at which birds and aircraft fly. This book is sure to delight, and educate.
