A cozy hug is one meter wide, a good night's sleep is 41,400
seconds long, and an African elephant weighs almost 5,500
kilograms. No matter where you are in the world, scientists use
these same units of measurement to communicate with one another.
Talking Science brings science vocabulary to life for even the
youngest children. Written by award-winning children's book author
Mary Wissinger, with inviting and fun illustrations by Lilia
Miceli, this innovative children's book uses kid-friendly examples
to show readers how big ideas can be shared--and how science
connects us all. The International System of Units is a group of
seven measurements--seconds, meters, kilograms, amperes, kelvins,
moles, and candelas--that allow scientists anywhere in the world to
understand each other. With this system, people from different
places, who speak different languages, can describe and solve the
same problems. In the past, scientists measured things in all kinds
of different ways. But it's difficult to share science across the
globe when one person uses their arm and another person uses their
foot to measure the same thing! Now, using the universal language
of science, we can work together to make discoveries.
