Invisible Nature

This may suit a curious reader who enjoys asking how nature works. Its visual layout, factual snippets, end diagram and glossary offer several ways into ideas that cannot be directly seen, heard or touched.

Some terminology and explanations may need pausing or unpacking, particularly around electromagnetic waves and different kinds of light. The book also mentions animal predation and the dangers as well as uses of unseen forces.

Which example most changes your idea of what animals can sense, and how does the book distinguish a natural use of an unseen force from a human use of it?

Browse a spread together first, then pause over its illustration and key terms. Use the diagram or glossary when needed, and invite the child to compare one animal example with one human application.
