The "Starting Science" series is designed to make science themes come alive through a combination of full page impact photographs with commentary for discussion, activities and investigations in which the children are involved and background information further linking pictures and activities into the chapter's topic. Each book in the series provides an introduction to science enquiry methods. In using them the teacher will find they are involving the other core subjects of language and maths. Through the activities and investigations, the children use a variety of ways to explore the world around them and to record their discoveries. The activities and investigations are closely related to children's early experiences and can be used flexibly, depending on their ability. They are designed to be easily accessible to parents or teachers. Focusing on foods that are familiar to children, this book introduces them to different types of foods and the importance of a balanced diet. Through observation and recording activities, it compares our eating habits to those of other animals, and looks at where foods come from and where they are made. The aim of the book is to encourage children to think about ways in which foods are stored and labelled, and how water is essential to life. - from Amzon
