Join the kids of the Science Club and discover electricity through a combination of adventure, activity and experiment in this fun, story-based series for kids aged 5 and up The Science Club follows a group of science-mad kids who meet at a club where they learn about science through their own experiences and discoveries. For example, at one club someone brings in a fossil, leading to an investigation into the rock cycle, dinosaurs and fossil formation. At another, a storm inspires the children to learn about lightning and other forms of electricity. Each story features sweet, humorous illustrations and includes simple experiments for readers to try for themselves. The Science Club kids are having fun at a concert in the park. It's a great introduction to their latest project - sound! The kids discover how we hear, go on a sound safari and experiment with different materials for earmuffs. They finish by making musical instruments and playing them at their own concert!

Unfold a world of discovery with this fascinating, science-packed story with a giant fold-out. Small Sparkling Raindrop tells the never-ending story of a raindrop as it falls from a cloud, becomes part of a river system, from small mountain stream to the giant Mekong river in southeast Asia, before evaporating back into the clouds.

The main story is written in the first person and is easy to read for beginners. The additional caption text is for confident readers, rich with information. The giant fold-out will delight and fascinate every child, with its illustrated water cycle, map of the world's major rivers and the I-Spy game taking them back into the book to find the Asian animals. For educators, the story touches on many primary science topics, such as the weather, evaporation and the power of water and rivers. It also lays the foundation for topics around the Earth's freshwater resources, the threat of water scarcity, the need for river dams for renewable energy, and the threats to the animals and people living downstream. A brilliant addition to any home or school library with lots of detail that will be returned to again and again.   This is Book 5 in the Start Small, Think Big series of science-based picture books, each focusing on a different life cycle, habitat and region of the world, with online activity sheets to support children's learning both inside and outside the classroom.
