*Full Product Description*
Exploring Science: Lower Secondary 11-14 – Book 2
This is the Year 8 / Grade 7 student textbook from Pearson Exploring Science series. Continues KS3 Science from Book 1. Builds on working scientifically skills + introduces more complex concepts for IGCSE prep.
Cover shows two blue-footed booby seabirds with bright blue feet on red volcanic rock. Text: “Feeling blue. You can tell how healthy these birds are by looking at their feet! Sula nebouxii is a species of seabird. The birds get coloured compounds called carotenoids from the fish that they eat. These substances become concentrated in their feet, which makes them blue. The better their diet and the healthier they are, the bluer their feet.” = Biology + Chemistry link: diet, adaptations, chemical compounds.
