Give students a head start in both science and organization. This unique and innovative new series pairs practical information with useful learning tools in the form of graphic organizers. Each book features a subject pulled directly from the K-4 Earth science curriculum plus nine graphic organizers that highlight facts about each chapter topic.

Colorful graphic organizers explain plants and their life cycle. Diagrams present the parts of different types of plants, and other graphic organizers show the workings of processes like photosynthesis and pollination.

What is energy, how is it measured, and how can we conserve it? Explore different types - nuclear, electric, fossil fuel, hydropower, and solar - through graphic organizers.
