Remember to use the index at the back of the book to look for your key words. It also includes links to websites and has lots of pictures for you to look at to help you gain an understanding about the topic.

If you come across any words that you don't know you can look up the meaning in the glossary.

This book contains loads of information about the universe including the solar system and space exploration. The contents page at the front of the book is helpful in locating the information you need.

Remember to look at your KWHL chart to remind you of what questions you are asking.

__ World Book Encyclopedia - REF 030 WOR __

These encyclopedias are great because you can quickly find information as everything is listed in alphabetical order and they are always available as they can't be borrowed. Look at your key words and use the initial letter and go to that volume.

Just a hint to get you started! Go to volume So-Sz and look for some of your key words (sun, solar system, space). You'll be amazed what you find!
