Biology is all around us! But what is it and where can you see it? Discover more with Everyday STEM Science—Biology.

Biology is more than just our bodies. Medicine, architecture, farming and food production all rely on biology. Discover how microbes and enzymes allow us to create the foodstuffs we most enjoy, how biofuels are providing green alternatives to fossil fuels, and how your biological clock really works. Meet the scientists who brought biology to life and carry out exciting experiments at home.

With easy-to-understand text written by an expert author, fun callouts, and lots of colorful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter biology and why it’s even important at all.

The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success, these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering, and math in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can’t promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical applications of STEM.
