Loading... Water: Up, Down, and All Around (Amazing Science)by Natalie M. RosinskyNone yet This book has many facts and explanations of the water cycle in simple terms. By using everyday life examples, the author shows how we use water and how water is transformed and eventually reused. Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, frost, dew, and water vapor are all explained but the book also discusses how some water is too unhealthy to drink or reuse. It also gives fun facts in smaller print about how much water is on the Earth and how much water is in human bodies. These fun facts are optional to read, but fun to know. I could use this book to teach younger students about the water cycle or just to talk about water in general and how important it is for life. I thought it was cool how in the back of the book, there are experiments to do with water, fast facts, and a glossary. I thought this book was a great introduction for the water cycle. I enjoyed the visuals as well as the text is was an easy read but gave you actual scientific facts. I also appreciated how in the back of the book it gave a glossary for words that the student may have not known or are just being introduced to. They had words like condense, dew, evaporate, frost, and vapor. I found it really helpful for the students to refer back and review these words that they were unsure of. Summary: This non-fiction early reader discusses water cycles and has details about evaporation, snow, frost, dew, ice, and water pollution. This book also included fun facts about water in small side boxes. Good coverage of the many parts water and its uses. Review: The cut and paste style art was not impressive to me, but could be appealing to the very young audience. Great appeal to parents and teachers who want to introduce children to water topics. Good progression through the topic and not overly wordy. Themes: water, conservation, factually informative |
