Science Readers: Earth's Cycles

Earth’s Cycles is an expository text that explains the cycles that govern life on earth, including the water, rock, oxygen, wind, and ocean cycles, as well as seasons and the balance of energy.  An experiment invites students to explore how temperature affects water currents. 

The book is divided into sections with some subsections.  Sentences vary in length and structure.  Captioned and labelled photographs and diagrams support and extend the text. Fact boxes add interest. The book has a table of contents, glossary, and index.

Content words are bold faced and included in the glossary.
