Master Books does a great job creating resources that help educate our kids. The most recent addition to their lineup is the Big Book Of Earth And Sky.
This book is a fifteen foot fold out chart that shows the earth, from the inner parts of the core to the upper reaches of the atmosphere. With twenty-one full color panels, this book is a treasure trove of information waiting to be mined.
This is an excellent resource for teaching, whether in the home or in the Sunday School classroom.
And it’s designed for kids ages 7 to 12.
Check out the Master Books book trailer:
Big Book Of Earth And Sky is full of tons of information about the earth and its elements. Beginning with the geologic column from a perspective based on Noah’s flood, this chart extends upward and covers such items as fossils and crystals, stones and coal. But alongside the earth portion is the earth’s oceans. Laid out in perspective so you can see how deep the oceans really are, or how high the tallest mountains really are, this chart is simply fascinating.
This chart gives succinct descriptions of more topics as well, such as cave formation, cloud formation. evaporation and rainfall, lightening, atmospheric layers, and greenhouse effects, just to name a few.
We are pretty excited to begin using this resource as we educate our kids. I’m sure it will be very useful as we study the earth and it’s processes.
Now all I need is a fifteen foot wall to hang it on, along with the Big Book Of History.
How would you find such a chart useful? You can leave your thoughts in the comments section below.
