Science Skills Sorted! Habitats

Book Synopsis

Habitats are brilliant things to study scientifically. Within habitats, plants humans and other animals have learned to adapt to the variety of biomes on Earth. In Habitats you’ll delve into the science behind these marvels of the natural world by conducting ten investigations or experiments using the ATOM method – Ask, Test, Observe & Measure – to ensure you’re working just like a professional scientist. Work out why ecosystems are important and what happens if too much or too little of something occurs in the natural world. Discover the ways some animals are adapted to cold habitats, the important role trees play and all about climate change! At the end of the book, scientific guidelines explain why scientists do things a certain way and the things they look out for or try to avoid.

Our Review Panel says...

This non-fiction text about habitats places an emphasis on working scientifically in order to explore the topic of habitats and ecosystems. Each topic is presented through a series of hands-on experiments following the ATOM method (ask, test, observe, measure), such as testing how effectively blubber protects bodies from cold and investigating how worms mix up the soil to improve their habitats. We highly recommend this series for KS2 classrooms, with other books in the series covering Rocks & Fossils, Evolution and Life Cycles.
