Stealth Science
Why this book counts
- Life Science

The science inside
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Animals & Zoology
- Oceans & Marine Life
Your child will meet:
- Walruses and elephant seals are both pinnipeds, but their body structures and typical behaviors differ.
- Size, movement, protective structures, and behavior must be compared using the same criteria.
- An animal's performance depends on environmental context as well as a single impressive trait.
- The book's winner is a reasoned fictional scenario rather than a result that should be tested.
