Evolution and classification are brilliant things to study
scientifically. Plants, humans and other animals have incredible
adaptations that mean they can survive in their habitats on Earth.
In Evolution and Classification you'll delve into the science
behind these marvels of the natural world by conducting
investigations and experiments using the ATOM method - Ask, Test,
Observe and Measure - to ensure you're working just like a
professional scientist. Find out why camouflage is important for
survival and how humans and other animals decide whether something
is food or not. Discover the ways some animals attract a mate to
breed with and the important role genes play! 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.
Science Skills Sorted are six topic books for children aged 8+
studying KS2 science. The ATOM method is designed to help readers
work scientifically as they are taught to in the classroom, and
each of the investigations is accompanied by explanatory text to
uncover facts about the topic. A range of experiments in each book
means that while some may need a little more equipment than others,
there are plenty experiments that are cheap and accessible, using
objects easily found in the classroom or at home.
