There are six titles in this seres of 'The Web of Life'. This title looks at the basics of life, including movement, respiration, nutrition, excretion, reproduction and growth in a very ordered, sensible an educational manner. It uses colour photographs and colour diagrams to show what happens in cells, inside plants or animals, or under the microscope about how systems work. There is also some comparative biology, all aimed at about 8-12 years of age. An index, glossary and further sources of information make this a nicely rounded book. --John Feltwell, School Librarian magazine Spring 2012
In KS2, children study life cycles and life processes and this is an excellent series to support that learning. The series shows how all living things are interdependent. This, in turn, highlights how vital it is for all of us to care for our world to enable this interdependency to remain in balance. The seven life processes are discussed in this title. There is an interesting case study - blue whale versus puffball fungus; an intriguing juxtaposition! There is plenty of opportunity for discussion around the issues arising in the book, making it a good classroom resource. The fact boxes 'What it means for us' are a good way to involve youngsters and get them thinking. --parentsintouch.co.uk website Nov 12
Reseña del editor:
Life Processes explains that how living things function is a big question at the heart of science. It looks at the seven life processes - movement, respiration, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, reproduction, and growth - as well as tackling common confusions about the science and showing how each topic is relevant to the reader.
