Follow Nate and his team of plucky scientists as they morph into tiny seeds, slippery tadpoles, and fuzzy caterpillars to learn about the life cycle. While on this adventure, learn all about how plants make food from the sun, why some animals transform as they mature, and what truly defines a living thing in this brand-new adventure from everyone's favorite fun-loving scientist and Emmy Award-winning PBS star, Nate Ball. Featuring vibrant illustrations by Wes Hargis and a lively and a lovable cast of characters, the Let's Investigate with Nate books align to grade-appropriate state-level learning standards and curriculum.
