Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia

Science is a key subject for all children, and the need to understand its basic principles has never been greater. The Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia gives children access to the knowledge of science that they need to build their lives in the modern world. The book, which is arranged thematically with a detailed index, provides more than facts about science and technology — it helps readers to think for themselves, develop enquiring minds, pose challenging questions and discover how to collect and use evidence and explore new topics. The ten major subject areas covered are: Planet Earth; Living Things; Human Biology; Chemistry and the Elements; Materials and Technology; Light and Energy; Forces and Movement; Electricity and Electronics; Space and Time; and Conservation and the
Environment.
