Everyday STEM: Geology is the first title in a new series that 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 math in our everyday lives. With easy-to- understand text, fun callouts, and lots of colorful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter science and why it's even important at all. 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 12-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the purpose of, and practical applications for, STEM.
