Julie Smith Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 My son is going to start grade 10 science soon (He takes online highschool). Before officially starting he likes to read easy, fun or interesting books about the subjects. For example before learning about geometry he would reread the Sir Curmference books (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Cumference). Before revisiting English Grammar terms he might reread Grammar Land (https://www.amazon.ca/Grammar-Land-M-L-Nesbitt/dp/1230411534) . So I'm not looking for something targeted for his age or level. Just something to add to his light reading. Any books or similiar related to the following topics for unit 1? I just scanned the unit for title words and so forth. Heat Transfer (Conduction, convection, radiation) Climate Change Ocean Currents Greenhouse Gases Electromagnetic Spectrum CO2 Levels His next unit is on Chemistry. So anything like Sir Curmference for that subject? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate-chip chooky Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 This one might fit the bill: We are the Weather Makers by Tim Flannery. There's an original edition and also a YA edition, I believe. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6650817-we-are-the-weather-makers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 The Cartoon Guide might serve. He also might like the original magic school bus books (not the TV tie ins) which were on about the same level as Sir Cumference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
