What something is made of is integral to it functioning properly. From plastic to wood, materials matter, as readers discover alongside a cute blue monster named Mo. Waterproof materials, elasticity, heat conservation, and more are all discussed in the colorful pages of this book. Readers consider what to wear when sailing, how a bell works, and why ice cream melted as they discover the exciting world of materials Questions throughout the text keep readers engaged with what they are reading.

We don't fully know the exact size of outer space, but it's estimated at around 28 billion light years. That's enormous Outer space is a result of numerous instances of cause and effect, because every celestial event from shooting stars to meteoroids play a role in a bigger, ongoing process. Readers explore the many events within outer space that each impact another event, as they read about different processes that they may not even realize are happening above their heads. Charming illustrations guide them to understanding more about this topic, which helps them to grasp STEM concepts from outside of the classroom.

What holds our feet to the ground? How does friction work? When could you use a lever? Imagine if a monster named Mo was able to answer these questions for young readers In this book, Mo does Readers adventure into the wild with Mo and friends to learn about the forces in the world around us, including magnetism. Cute, colorful illustrations pair with key science concepts the support classroom learning. Questions throughout the text keep readers engaged with what they are reading.

How much of an impact does "cause and effect" have in engineering and industry? Well, a lot Machines are made up of many moving parts, from different mechanics and gears to the people operating them near and far. There's a lot of things happening at once, and engineers study and use these moving parts to create inventions that solve problems in the world around us. In this volume, readers learn how the process of cause and effect is used by engineers to research, build, and understand problems. Eye-catching graphics that follow the format of an arrow diagram break down each example for readers, especially keeping visual learners in mind.

It's time to go to a birthday party It's Mo's birthday and this cute blue monster has a lot to learn there--all about states of matter Readers are invited to investigate solids, liquids, and gases alongside Mo and friends as they blow up balloons, plan drinks, and bake a cake. Key science information is found throughout the colorful pages of the book, all written in interesting, age-appropriate language. Questions throughout the text keep readers engaged with what they are reading.

We need different kinds of energy to do just about everything--think, run, drive a car, and turn on a light. Mo, a cute blue monster, doesn't know that, and is off to a cooking and baking class to find out more--and readers are invited to go along While Mo learns about how the sun warms Earth, photosynthesis, and natural gas, readers begin to understand how energy makes our world go 'round. Questions throughout the text keep readers engaged with what they are reading.

Rainforests cover around 8 percent of the world's land surface, and they require a lot of living and nonliving things to coexist together to thrive. When these things coexist, a process called "cause and effect" happens--referring to the way each of their actions affects one another, ultimately causing different events to happen. And sometimes these events are unpredictable From food chains to deforestation and climate change, many factors can cause a lasting effect on rainforests, which readers uncover throughout this volume. As they're guided by visuals and arrow diagrams, readers comprehend the weight that every action--even small ones--can carry in a rainforest.

Where does light come from? The obvious answer might be the sun, but there are other natural and artificial light sources, from fire to flashlights. And where there is light, there is shadow. In this fun adventure with a little blue monster named Mo, readers learn the many aspects of light and shadow while visiting a carnival with Mo From funhouse mirror tricks to archery games, the main content presents readers with key science information in a unique and engaging way.

With a multitude of natural and human processes going on, Earth can be impacted by both small and big changes from nature and nonliving things alike. Earth has many moving parts within and around it, meaning that each part is involved in many cause and effect situations. From natural cause and effect events like weather or the ocean's tides to chaos from humanity like putting greenhouse gases into the air, readers learn about a multitude of impactful situations on Earth--including some they may be contributing to without realizing. Eye-catching illustrations and an organized visual of the flow of events combine to create an engaging reading experience for independent readers.

With 11 organ systems, 206 bones, over 30 trillion cells, and a multitude of unplanned circumstances, the human body has many moving parts working at once Each organ, bone, and cell has a specific job to perform, but every job affects another job to make sure the body can carry out everyday functions. In this volume, readers learn about some key cause and effect processes that are going on in their body, as well as how choices they make can affect their body functions. As engaging illustrations correspond with helpful arrow diagrams, readers develop a deeper understanding of how cause and effect works, as well as how it works within their own bodies.

In the animal kingdom, cause and effect can sometimes be a matter of life and death But chaos also plays a role in cause and effect, because sometimes unexpected events change the usual outcomes. Throughout this volume, readers learn about different situations in the animal kingdom that lead to another situation, as well as the chaos that can occur at the hands of human involvement--like overfishing or poaching. Colorful illustrations demonstrate the various processes for readers, as they learn to connect cause and effect outcomes with the help of arrow diagrams.
