Zoology, paleontology, oceanography, physics, chemistry, robotics, and astronomy are some of the areas the reader learns about in JOSHUA EXPLORES SCIENCE. This engaging, child-centered story is an informative introduction to many exciting branches of science. Joshua is encouraged to think and act like a scientist; ask questions, observe his world, use science words from the text, and record his thinking. The book is a fun look at the vast fields of science for any child, but especially for a "Joshua" because he is the main character in this book and his name is featured throughout. This book, combined with JOSHUA'S SCIENCE JOURNAL and LET'S EXPLORE SCIENCE: BRANCHES OF SCIENCE COLORING BOOK is a great way to motivate a child to explore the wonders of the world and outer space.
