The "Starting Science" series is designed to make science themes come alive through a combination of: full page impact photos with commentary for discussion; activities and investigations in which the children are involved; background information further linking pictures and activities into the chapter's topic. Each book in the series provides an introduction to science enquiry methods. In using them the teacher will find that they are involving the other core subjects of language and maths. Through the activities and investigations, the children use a variety of ways to explore the world around them and to record their discoveries. The activities and investigations are closely related to children's early experiences and can be used flexibly, according to their ability. They are designed to be easily accessible to parents or teachers. This book in the series explores, at a simple level, the many ways in which we communicate with each other, from speech and signing to the latest advances in technology. Methods of sending messages are explored, including telecommunications and satellite communications, as well as the storage and retrieval of information by computer.
