Description
The second in the Reader's Digest Science series, How Nature Works is designed to open up the world of natural history to children and adults with a practical, hands-on approach to nature that involves the reader in doing experiments in order to learn. All the experiments and demonstrations have been carefully planned and photographed "live" using over 700 full-color photographs. Publication date: September 1st.Tags

This book on life science for young people provides an enormous amount of photos, diagrams, factual information, and experiments. This approach would work well for middle school students who are already interested in science, yet for those who are only mildly curious about biological processes in nature, it would perhaps be even more compelling if each section of the book began with general questions that a child might ask about these subjects.
