Description
These are books that make science exciting by teaching concepts in a new way. Zombies and vampires may be undead - but that doesn't exempt them from the laws of science! Capitalize on kids' fascination with all types of monsters with this creative, amusing - but accurately fact-filled - look at important scientific concepts. Each vignette uses a monster and cool graphic-novel-style illustrations to show the hows and whys of science.
ReviewsWith a special blend of graphic-novel art, conversational text, and sight gags with goofy monsters, this Monster Science book uses an undead cast for lessons on atoms, currents, static electricity, circuits, and more. And with zombies electrocuted on almost every page ("Flesh is a good conductor of electricity"), many nontraditional readers and learners will appreciate this unusual presentation.-- "Book Links, Get Charged Up"
