Life is all around us; from gigantic whales that live in the oceans, to tiny germs that crawl around on your computer keyboard, Life Science explores the origins, evolution and expansion of life in all its forms. Biologists learn how living things work, how they interact with one another, and how they evolve. The 64 projects contained in this science experiment e-book cover a wide range of Life Science topics; from Botany & Zoology to Human anatomy & Ecology… there are even experiments on mycology and entomology all designed for young students from grade 1 to 8! With this book, you are sure to find a project that interests you. When you are interested in a certain science topic, you will have more fun, and learn more, too!
