What is a moon? How far away is Earth’s Moon? What is the Moon’s surface like? Is there gravity on the Moon? What does the Moon have in common with a playground merry-go-round?
Find the answers to these questions, learn about ice on the Moon, and discover what it was like when astronauts went to the Moon for the first time.
The target audience for this Perfection Learning is fourth/fifth grade, ages nine and ten. Part of the Reading Essentials in Science series, “The Moon” is part of the Earth and Space strand. Exploring the Universe includes five books: “The Earth,” “The Journey Into Space,” “The Moon,” “The Solar System,” and “The Sun.” The aim of the series is to help young readers use their reading strategies to improve their skills in reading for information.
Divided into five chapters: Meet the Moon, What’s It Like There?, Moon Movement, It’s Just a Phase, and Journey to the Moon, the book also includes a listing of Internet connections and related reading materials, a glossary, and an index. There’s also an overview of the book, including genre, text features, organizational patterns, and a vocabulary list designed for teachers.
Features in each chapter include photographs and/or diagrams and a highlighted fact box. There’s also an investigation project and a technology link that discusses the Lunar Prospector.
Highly recommended, especially for middle-grade readers interested in lunar and space science.
