She studied biology in college at a time when few women entered the sciences, and then worked as a biologist and information specialist for the US government and wrote about the natural world for many publications. Carson is best remembered for her book Silent Spring, which exposed the widespread misuse of chemical pesticides in the United States and sparked both praise and fury.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Carson's personal life and scientific career were rooted in the study of nature. Using examples from Carson's life and works, \u003ci\u003eRachel Carson and Ecology for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e will introduce readers to ecology concepts such as the components of ecosystems, adaptations by living things, energy cycles, food chains and food webs, and the balance of ecosystems. This lively biography includes a time line, resources, sidebars, and 21 hands-on activities that are sure to inspire the next generation of scientists, thinkers, leaders, agricultural producers, environmental activists, and world citizens.

It invites readers to take a look at the world around them and ask questions about what's in their environment and how the things they use and eat every day can affect their own health and the planet's health.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChemical World: Science in Our Daily Livesexplores some of the materials--all of which are made of basic chemical elements--that humans use or come into contact with in their day-to-day lives.

Others have been synthesized by chemists during the past 150 years and used in a bewildering array of products ranging from roof shingles to toothpaste.
