Coverage
‘The Encyclopedia of STEM Words is a delightfully illustrated collection of STEM vocabulary that will be a great addition to any classroom book corner or science library. Each concept is clearly explained and there is a useful glossary and index feature at the back of the book which will help children to find out more and gain extra clarification. The organisational features will make it a great text to use for Guided Reading activities with a science context. The content covers a range of concepts from the National Curriculum, such as friction, evaporation and nutrients, as well as a number of ideas which go deeper and will interest more curious and scientifically-minded children.’ – Kathryn Horan, Chartered Science Teacher
