Backyard BIOLOGY by Donna Latham
Life is everywhere, thriving in the city and in the country, teeming in ecosystems around the planetin deserts, oceans, and even the Arctic. And life is right outside your door! Backyard Biology invites children ages 9 and up to investigate living thingsespecially in yards, parks, nature areas, and playgrounds. Trivia and fun facts bring animals, plants, and microorganisms to life, in all their wonder.Readers become Nature Detectives with activities and projects that encourage children to make discoveries. Children will construct a plankton net to collect pond samples, and they ll grow microorganisms in a Winogradsky Column. They ll discover what mystery plants sprout from collected soil samples and build a rolypoly habitat. When children experiment with phototropism and geotropism, they'll discover the ways plants move. In Backyard Biology, children will scout out different habitats to observe and investigateand do their part to protect them. Furthermore, this title meets the Common Core Curriculum Standards for reading informational text and the framework for K12 earth science as well as life science, science inquiry, and natural resources.
