  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. It also includes background information further linking pictures and activities into each chapter's topic. Each book in the series provides an introduction to science enquiry methods. In using them the teacher will discover that 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. Choosing its topics from within a child's early experiences of the natural world, this book focuses on the changing seasons. It discusses the varying lengths of daylight and how the weather affects people's lives and those of plants and animals, with particular attention paid to the way in which seasonal temperature changes and the supply of food determine whether they rest, reproduce or move on to other parts of the world. The book covers aspects of the National Curriculum at Key Stage l, Attainment Target 16 (levels 1 and 2).
