Astronaut-Aquanaut: How Space Science and Sea Science Interact (National Geographic Kids)Space and the ocean. If you don’t think they go together, think again! Both deep-sea and space explorers have to worry about pressure, temperature, climate, and most importantly, how to survive in a remote and hostile environment. Join us on an amazing journey as we go up in space with astronauts and dive deep down in the ocean with aquanauts to explore the far-off places of our planet and the solar system.

With a strong tie into STEM topics–such as making connections, making comparisons, and recognizing patterns across content areas–readers will discover the amazing science and incredible innovations that allow humans (and sometimes only machines) to survive in these harsh environments.

Review by Jedlie

Astronaut-Aquanaut: How Space Science and Sea Science Interact (National Geographic Kids) by Jennifer Swanson

I love this book! Astronaut – Aquanaut, How Space Science and Sea Science Interact by Jennifer Swanson has become one of my favorite books of all time. The book is Published by National Geographic Kids and should be a part of your family library.

As the host of the Reading With Your Kids Podcast, I love books that kids and parents will find engaging and entertaining. Believe it when I say that this book makes science FUN for everyone!

More than anything I love that this book encourages kids to think about how cool it would be to become a sea or space explorer. The photography and illustrations are amazing and are really captivating. I spent my first thirty minutes with the book just looking at all the fascinating art found throughout the book. As I skimmed through the pages I imagined how much fun a family could have talking about what it would be like to live on a space station or to explore the ocean floor in a submersible. A family could easily spend an hour imagining what it would be like climbing into a deep water diving suits and encountering some creepy sea creatures, or donning a space suit and taking a walk in space.

And as fun, as it is to imagine I love that the book makes learning science fun. Each chapter takes a larger concept and breaks it up into smaller chunks, making it easier for kids, and adults, to understand. I especially love that each chapter ends with an easy to do an experiment that demonstrates the concepts.

Astronaut – Aquanaut, How Space Science and Sea Science Interact also features forwards by Astronaut Kathryn Sullivan and Aquanaut Fabien Cousteau. It is a wonderful resource that will encourage kids to explore the sciences and other STEM fields.
