Spectacular Science: A Book of Poems

Spectacular Science shows that science is not a dry subject at all; rather it's a way of looking at the world. These poems, by poets both beloved and new, cover a wide array of topics, including tools of science, weather, seeds, animals, the processes of freezing, melting, and more. Full of questions and wonder, this terrific collection makes science accessible, intriguing, and fun.
