We're the Center of the Universe!

November 1, 2014

Gr 4-6-Focusing on scientific misconceptions throughout the centuries, each compact volume reveals how scientists have debunked the erroneous claims of the past through persistence, further inquiry, and use of the scientific method. Concise narratives work well with photos and graphic images to convey the history of scientific thought while reminding readers that with advancements in science and technology, today's facts could just as easily be proven inaccurate in the future. Captions and sidebars provide additional information and context, and many entries contain highlighted words that are briefly defined at the bottom of the page. Although each volume has its merits, Your Head Shape Reveals Your Personality! stands out due in large part to the subject matter-the human body-and its gross-out potential.
