Out of This World

Readers get an up-close look at stellar examples of STEM in these guides to technological feats that have allowed humans to explore space, build lifelike robots, develop computers that make our lives easier, and zip around in futuristic supercars. The immersive design of each volume presents readers with information in the form of short, focused sections of text and special sidebars, as well as a wide variety of eye-catching images. Infographics and graphic organizers break down challenging concepts, and full-color photographs of stunning scientific inventions and discoveries make this a reading experience that truly is out of this world!

Each Book Contains:
• Detailed diagrams that combine impressive visuals with important facts about technology such as spacesuits and robots
• An activity that is broken down into clear steps with visual aids to encourage readers to apply what they've learned in a hands-on, fun way
• A creative approach to STEM that focuses heavily on bright, detailed images to keep readers engaged and that presents essential facts in a fresh way

Curriculum Connections:
• Readers are shown how all aspects of STEM—science, technology, engineering, and math—work together to lead to amazing advances in computing, robotics, space exploration, and motor vehicles
• Text connects both historical and present examples of technology in each field, such as early spacecraft and the International Space Station, to encourage readers to compare and contrast and to mix social studies and science topics in a creative way
• Basic scientific processes are first explained before more detailed real-world examples, so readers can see how STEM topics are applied in real life
