How will astronauts survive the long journey to Mars? What will it take for humans to live on the freezing, dusty, airless planet? And what kinds of homes will people build? In this new Science Slam! title, kids will discover the answers to all these questions and many more fasc…
"With this highly visual guide to observing the sky with the naked eye, kids aged 9-14 will delve into the science behind what they see"--
What do you see when you look up into the sky at night? The moon, stars, maybe even a comet or asteroid? You can also see other planets! In Planetary Science: Explore New Frontiers, readers ages 12 to 15 embark on a journey through the solar system and beyond, exploring planets,…
The diverse planetary environments in the solar system react in somewhat different ways to the encompassing influence of the Sun. These different interactions define the electrostatic phenomena that take place on and near planetary surfaces. The desire to understand the electros…
