2019 From caves deep underground to the mysteries of the Universe, Super Science Facts entertains readers in grades 5 to 12 with fun science facts and colourful images on every page to support comprehension. The minimal-text format (1,200 to 1,400 words per book) introduces content vocabulary defined in context and repeated in a glossary.
The Physical Sciences set includes:
A World Underground
- Some caves stretch for miles. Some are so big that they could hold a city block of tall buildings. Some are deep underwater. How did these caves form, and what is in them?
Earth’s Ice
- How do plants and animals survive in a frozen world? Where do glaciers come from? What is permafrost? Earth’s Ice explores the cryosphere—all the parts of Earth that are frozen.
Galaxies
- The Milky Way Galaxy has intrigued astronomers for centuries. What have we learned about galaxies since Galileo first looked through his telescope?
Meteors and Meteorites
- What is that streak of light across the night sky? Is it a comet? A meteor? Or something else? Find out how to tell what you’re seeing, and much more!
Precious Metals
- Why are gold and silver valued so highly? What are they used for besides jewellery? And what in the world are rare-earth metals?
