Waves : physical science for kids / Andi Diehn ; illustrated by Shululu.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Have you ever floated on waves in the ocean? Have you ever stood in a human wave at a baseball game?

Waves are all around us! You can find waves in a field of wheat, in a dangling string, in a slinky, and in flags that are blowing in the breeze. There are even invisible waves! Sunlight and sound move in waves, and cell phones and microwaves use waves to transmit voices and to cook food. You can hear your mom say, "Hello," on the cell phone because of waves.

Waves is a fun, illustrated introduction to the concept of waves and energy and their presence in our world. In this book, elementary-aged children learn to spot all the different kinds of waves they encounter in daily life. Simple vocabulary, detailed illustrations, short experiments, and a glossary all support exciting learning for kids ages 6 to 9.

Wavespairs beautiful illustrations with simple observations and explanations. Quick experiments such as floating a ball of paper in a tub of water help readers cross the bridge from conceptual to experiential learning and provide a foundation of knowledge that will prove invaluable as kids progress in their science education.

Pitch perfect for children who love to ask, "why," about the world around them,Waves satisfies curiosity while encouraging continual student-led learning.
