Shows how microscopes are used to see the tiniest parts of the universe. Helps readers understand that the size of any object may be viewed in relation to things smaller and things larger.

Introduces the big bang theory, describing how the universe began and how elementary particles combined to form our solar system and eventually Earth's simplest organisms, which in turn evolved to becomes complex forms of life and human beings.

This book begins with the earliest speculations and investigations of matter by the Greeks and Romans, and then, step by step and century by century, it traces the path of discovery that revealed more and more of the nature of the atom, of light, of gravity, or the electromagnetic force and even the nature and structure of the universe. It also encompasses such phenomena as light and electricity; the protons, neutrons, and quarks that are the fundamental...

Provides a history of atoms, explores the properties and laws of chemicals, and discusses the new subatomic particles.

An introduction to nuclear power. Includes illustrations, photographs, and a glossary.

"Looking through a microscope, Red Kangaroo discovers the world is full of small things her eyes can't see. She asks Dr. Chris, "What's one of the smallest things in the world?"

In this new series, Chris Ferrie answers all the questions Red Kangaroo has for him about what things are made of and how things work using real-world and practical examples....

Do your students wait until the last minute to get started on Science projects? No problem. Each experiment in this resource follows the scientific method, and can be completed in an hour or less. Readers will model a chemical reaction, discover how small a molecule is, and find out what happens when atoms jump from one molecule to another. Most experiments also include ideas for science fair projects in case your readers have extra time.

Meet the amazing atoms family, with more than 100 members and a very important job. Atoms are the building blocks that make just about everything.
