A practical look at how nature works around us. The young scientist is taken on a hands-on exploration of such environments as the country and the seashore. Simple text is accompanied by colourful illustrations and photographs aimed to enhance understanding of nature. LIFECYCLES looks at different stages in the life of plants and animals. Simple experiments demonstrate how butterflies come from pupa, birds from eggs, and look at the environment needed for creatures to grow and develop. NATURE GARDENS takes a close look at the garden environment and its wildlife. Fun projects encourage readers to find out what soil is, and to find and observe common animals, birds and insects.
