Earth's Spheres

Beschreibung

Earth itself is sphere-shaped. Earth's spheres are layers surrounding Earth. The geosphere is the part of Earth we live on. The geosphere includes the rocky crust and the mantle and core below the crust. The hydrosphere is made up of all the water on Earth and includes lakes, streams, oceans, ice, rain, and snow. The biosphere is made up of all the living things on Earth. The atmosphere is made up of all the air that surrounds Earth and contains the air we breathe. Weather occurs in the atmosphere. The magnetosphere is the magnetic field surrounding Earth in space. It protects Earth from getting too much energy from the Sun. Each sphere is important in making it possible for life to exist on Earth. The spheres can be studied separately or together to learn how Earth works. Pronunciation guide. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.

Autor

Dr. Rebecca Woodbury received her Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.While home schooling her three children, Dr. Woodbury was unable to find a curriculum that provided a solid foundation in science. She left academia, and using her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, she developed a series of science books for kids.The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in science and gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. "We should not rely on the 'experts' but instead learn how to critically evaluate every scientific claim," states Dr. Woodbury."In these uncertain times with so many social, scientific, and economic problems, it is not enough to teach our kids what to learn. We must also teach them how to learn, and we must encourage our kids to learn from others. Part of learning from others is to know how to engage in productive debate."The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum, with its engaging, kid-friendly Student Textbooks; Laboratory Notebooks full of real science experiments; and easy to use Teacher's Manuals, provides kids with a solid science education in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This curriculum is used in all 50 states in the US and many other countries. Dr. Woodbury and her publishing team continue to develop and test new products, including leveled readers and mini books, at the Real Science-4-Kids Albuquerque headquarters.
