If you look carefully, you can find them and be amazed! These
secret pools form every year when low places on the forest floor
fill up with rain and melted snow. They soon become home to
hatching wood frogs, spotted salamanders, and fairy shrimp. Even in
late summer and fall, when many vernal pools have shrunk to mud
holes, creatures such as turtles and snakes rely on them for
shelter and food. The Secret Pool introduces young readers to the
wonders right underfoot as the voice of a vernal pool shares its
secrets through the seasons, and sidebars provide fun facts on its
inhabitants and the crucial role these small, often overlooked
wetlands play in maintaining a healthy environment. This edition
includes new backmatter features about wetland habitats and animals
for classroom use and reader interest.

Aspiring young biologists will discover an amazing group of
inspiring scientists and memorable experiments in Biology for Kids,
the second book of The Kitchen Pantry Scientist series. Play
disease detective to learn how John Snow tracked down the source of
a cholera epidemic. Learn about biologist Ernest Everett Just's
discoveries and experiment with osmosis using eggs with dissolved
shells. Make your own agar plates for growing bacteria and fungi
just like Fannie Hess. This engaging guide offers a series of
snapshots of 25 scientists famous for their work with biology, from
ancient history through today. Each lab tells the story of a
scientist along with some background about the importance of their
work, and a description of where it is still being used or
reflected in today's world. A step-by-step illustrated experiment
paired with each story offers kids a hands-on opportunity for
exploring concepts the scientists pursued, or are working on today.
Experiments range from very simple projects using materials you
probably already have on hand, to more complicated ones that may
require a few inexpensive items you can purchase online. Just a few
of the incredible people and scientific concepts you'll explore:
Maria Sibylla Merian (b. 1647) Observe, photograph and illustrate
insects on plants Scientific concepts: observation and
documentation of insect habitat and metamorphosis Charles Darwin
(b. 1809) Play a competitive advantage game. Scientific concepts:
natural selection and evolution Louis Pasteur (b. 1822) Make a
flask like Pasteur's to grow microbes from the air. Scientific
concepts: microbial fermentation and germ theory Rae Wynn-Grant (b.
1985) Use cookie crumbs to attract ants. Observe the behavior of
ants and other animals. Scientific concepts: ecology and animal
behavior Biology is the name for the study of living organisms, but
long before the word biologist was coined, people around the world
realized that by studying the world around them, they could improve
their lives. Learning about plants and insects helped them discover
new medicines and grow better crops. Studying animals taught them
how to raise healthy poultry, cattle, and horses for food, farming,
and transportation. Today's biologists study everything imaginable.
From oceans, jungles, and cities to the space station, the universe
is their laboratory. Like those who went before them, they are
fascinated by plants, animals, and microbes and understand that
their discoveries can make the world a better place for all living
things. With this fascinating, hands-on exploration of the history
of biology, inspire the next generation of great scientists. Dig
into even more incredible science history from The Kitchen Pantry
Scientist series with: Chemistry for Kids, Physics for Kids, Math
for Kids, and Ecology for Kids.
