A brand new edition of A Drop in the Ocean from the Science Works series, featuring lively storytelling and fun, engaging illustrations to aid children in their learning. Our world is full of water. We swim in it. We Swallow it. We are even made of it (mostly). In this revised edition from Jacqui Bailey, we follow the passage of a water droplet, from the time when it evaporates from the ocean and becomes the water vapour that makes up clouds to the moment it falls as rain. We learn how water is cleaned and used before being returned once again to this never-ending cycle. This book also contains an experiment, more great facts to know, useful websites, and an index. Book band: Lime Ideal for KS2.

Water, the essential component of our existence, plays a vital role in every aspect of our world. From the vast oceans that cover approximately 71% of the Earth's surface to the tiny droplets that form clouds and eventually fall as rain, water is everywhere. In this captivating book, A Drop in the Ocean, author Jacqui Bailey takes us on a journey through the life cycle of water, from its evaporation from the ocean to its transformation into water vapour and its eventual return to the Earth as rain.

As we delve into the book, we discover that water is not just a simple substance; it is a complex and fascinating entity. We learn about the different stages of water, such as liquid, solid, and gas, and how they interact with each other to create the various weather phenomena we experience. We also explore the importance of water in our daily lives, from drinking and cooking to cleaning and sanitation.

One of the most exciting aspects of A Drop in the Ocean is the inclusion of an experiment that children can conduct themselves. The experiment involves measuring the weight of a water droplet before and after it evaporates, and it helps to reinforce the concepts discussed in the book. Additionally, the book provides a wealth of additional information, including great facts to know, useful websites, and an index.

Book band: Lime, A Drop in the Ocean is ideal for children in Key Stage 2 (KS2). It is a fun and informative book that will help children to develop a deeper understanding of the world around them and the importance of water in our lives. Whether you are a teacher, parent, or simply someone who enjoys learning, A Drop in the Ocean is a must-read for anyone who wants to explore the fascinating world of water.
