Description
KFYK - Kingfisher Young Knowledge is a science-based, highly visual, Inspirational learning experience. Lively, engaging text explains the basics of a favourite subject, zooming in on intriguing aspects illustrated with stuning full-colour photographs. Project spreads featuring activities to do at home or when out and about, encourage hands-on involvement and understanding. KFYK Materials answers the fundamental questions about the matter and materials that make up the physical world around us: What are rocks made of? Where do plastics come from and what are they used for? Why can I see through glass? Readers are introduced to the most common natural and manufactured materials - including metals, wood, paper, cotton and recycled products - and shown why some are hard and others are runny, and why some of them stretch while others snap.
