Discover how maths is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM
Maths - Amazing Maths. Mathematics is not just working out sums and
equations for school - it's all around us and used in everyday
situations. From photography and cooking to ballet and fashion
design, maths is the building block of everything! Discover how
watching rabbits and bees developed into a famous sequence, see the
ancient Egyptians apply maths to pyramid building, and meet the
inspirational mathematicians who brought numbers and symbols to
life, including Marjorie Lee Browne, Archimedes and Maryam
Mirzakhani. A "try this at home" section shows readers how maths
helps you to read minds and how a sequence can turn you into an
artist. With easy-to-understand text written by maths expert Lou
Abercrombie, and lots of colourful artworks, photos and diagrams,
readers can best explore where we encounter maths and why it's even
important at all. The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant
to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key
to their future success, these books show readers how we use
science, technology, engineering and maths in our everyday lives.
While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes
these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can't
promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain
in the simplest terms the practical applications of STEM.

fun-packed entries, children will laugh as they learn about the
wonders of the universe. Each entry uses a colourful comic-strip
style to delight and inform young readers in equal measure.

Look up! What do you see? The sun, moon, stars, other planets?
You're checking out the solar system! The Solar System: Out of This
World with Science Activities for Kids invites middle school kids
on a journey of a lifetime to explore the comets, meteors,
asteroids, sun, planets, and moons that make up the solar system.
Kids learn about the history of space exploration and discovery,
along with the tools of astronomy that have made it possible to
study celestial objects even outside our own solar system. While
space seems far away, and really, it is, The Solar System brings it
closer to the classroom with fun facts and engaging language kids
will find exciting! Space has been fascinating to humans since we
first looked up, and that sense of wonder is still very much a part
of a young astronomer's experience. As the tools of space
exploration become more and more sophisticated, the farther reaches
of outer space become accessible to everyone back on Earth. Photos
from the rovers on Mars, images of Pluto from New Horizons
spacecraft, communications from Comet 67P via the Philae comet
probe all bring the solar system up close and personal for anyone
with an internet connection. The Solar System includes hands-on
STEM activities and critical thinking exercises related to
astronomy and space exploration. Fun facts, links to online primary
sources and other supplemental material, and essential questions
encourage readers to take a deep dive toward the outer limits of
our home! Nomad Press books integrate content with participation.
Common Core State Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards,
and STEM Education all place project-based learning as key building
blocks in education. Combining content with inquiry-based projects
stimulates learning and makes it active and alive. Nomad's unique
approach simultaneously grounds kids in factual knowledge while
allowing them the space to be curious, creative, and critical
thinkers.

Part of the "Accelerate" series, "Exploration of Mars" describes
the types of space mission that would be required to bring life to

on the planet? There is a discussion about what living things need
to survive. The book offers a split page presentation which creates
some interesting changes of scene. For example, readers can see how
the inside of a habitation module corresponds to its interior.
