Professor Ok Hyo-jin's Dictionary of Science Concepts: Biology and Earth Science
Description
Book Introduction
Elementary best-selling author Ok Hyo-jin tells the story
Easy and fun stories about biology and earth science
Let's become best friends with science!

When we think of 'science,' we often think of studying something heavy, with complex theories and difficult technical terms, or learning it in a strictly controlled laboratory.
But science developed by exploring ourselves and the world around us.
Since ancient times, scientists have tried to explain natural phenomena occurring around us and understand how living things, including ourselves, operate.
As a result, we have been able to develop civilization by obtaining beneficial things from nature, and we have been able to live more safely by discovering the causes of diseases in living things.
Every child has these qualities of a scientist.
Because it is the job of children to learn about the world through endless questions.
If children are given a good tool called 'science concepts', their curiosity will sprout, the roots of inquiry will take root, the power of thinking will grow, and creativity will blossom.

This book captures the concepts of biology and earth science in children's daily lives—school, home, and friendships—and explains them in an easy and fun way.
When elementary school students Woojoo and Sarangi show curiosity about various scientific concepts such as metamorphosis, adaptation, photosynthesis, microorganisms, greenhouse gases, rotation and revolution, the kind teacher Ok explains them step by step at the children's eye level.
Also, the polite cat Dust and the extroverted hamster Hamjji appear to help children learn biology and earth science concepts that they might find difficult by explaining them in a fun way.
As you learn concepts step by step with characters who are like friends, you will be able to understand the scientific principles in our daily lives and become close friends with science subjects that once seemed distant.

Selected by current elementary school teacher Ok Hyo-jin
100 Essential Biology and Earth Science Concepts for Kids!

What distinguishes plants from animals? What's the difference between reptiles and amphibians? Which hospital should I visit for a stye? What is the meaning of biodiversity? Why do seasons exist? These are questions we encounter frequently in our daily lives.
But it's not easy to actually answer.
This is because we can only properly answer questions by delving into and exploring the creatures we see every day and the natural phenomena we experience every year, rather than taking them for granted.
To foster scientific curiosity in children's daily lives and enable them to understand and explain scientific principles, it is beneficial to know scientific terms, which are the minimum logical units.


The first volume of "Mr. Ok Hyo-jin's Dictionary of Science Concepts" systematically organizes the concepts of biology and earth science that children need to know from Chapters 1 to 8.
It expands from the animals and plants we encounter around us to our bodies and the ecological environment.
The field of Earth science also first explains the nearby Earth and the weather phenomena we experience every day, and then goes into the solar system and the universe.


What makes this book even more special is that teacher Ok Hyo-jin personally selected 100 essential biology and earth science concepts that she believes elementary school students should know while working with children as a current teacher.
Almost all concepts appearing in science textbooks are included.
It also quickly covers the latest current affairs issues that frequently appear in the news today, such as 'biodiversity', 'jet streams', and 'bio-mimetic technology'.
Through "Professor Ok Hyo-jin's Dictionary of Science Concepts: Biology and Earth Science," you will be able to thoroughly build your knowledge of science subjects and even acquire useful current affairs knowledge.

You will quickly become familiar with the concept through familiar everyday episodes,
Learn essential scientific knowledge faster and easier than anyone else with friendly explanations!

Although this book is titled and formatted as a dictionary, we have tried to present a variety of biological and earth science concepts in a format that is as informal as possible.
First, we will learn about biology and earth science concepts in a friendly way through everyday episodes featuring Teacher Ok and the children.
After that, you can immediately understand the concept accurately through the dictionary definition.
The following explanations are in the form of comic panels rather than simple text, allowing you to learn about the concepts in detail without getting bored.
The cute illustrations that appear between the explanations help readers learn the concepts more easily and enjoyably.
Finally, if you read the scientific common sense related to the concepts that Teacher Ok explains, your knowledge of biology and earth science will become richer.
