Founded on the premise that zoos are 'bilingual'-that the zoo, in
the shape of its staff and exhibits, and its visitors speak
distinct languages-this enlightening analysis of the informal
learning that occurs in zoos examines the 'speech' of exhibits and
staff as well as the discourse of visitors beginning in the
earliest years. Using real-life conversations among visitors as a
basis for discussion, the authors interrogate children's responses
to the exhibits and by doing so develop an 'informal learning
model' and a 'zoo knowledge model' that prompts suggestions for
activities that classroom educators can use before, during, and
after a zoo visit. Their analysis of the 'visitor voice' informs
creative suggestions for how to enhance the educational experiences
of young patrons. By assessing visitors' entry knowledge and their
interpretations of the exhibits, the authors establish a baseline
for zoos that helps them to refine their communication with
visitors, for example in expanding knowledge of issues concerning
biodiversity and biological conservation. The book includes
practical advice for zoo and classroom educators about positive
ways to prepare for zoo visits, engaging activities during visits,
and follow-up work that maximizes the pedagogical benefits. It also
reflects on the interplay between the developing role of zoos as
facilitators of learning, and the ways in which zoos help visitors
assimilate the knowledge on offer. In addition to being essential
reading for educators in zoos and in the classroom, this volume is
full of insights with much broader contextual relevance for getting
the most out of museum visits and field trips in general.

Do you know what happens when Virus goes viral? How does Immune System
fight infection when it strikes? And why do masks matter?
Kids need real science information about the Covid-19 pandemic that has
kept them away from school, kept their parents away from work, and may
even have harmed people they know and love. And they want information
about how to deal with their feelings, too. The Basher mix of science
and humour makes these difficult times less frightening by providing
approachable and easily understandable information in a format kids
know and love.
From Smallpox to Social Distancing, this book is crammed with bad
actors from the world of pandemics. Find out about history’s nastiest
diseases, then discover how Vaccine, Treatment and Clinical Trial help
to beat back today’s viruses. And turn to Hygiene, Face Mask, Lockdown
and Resourcefulness for advice on keeping safe physically – and
mentally.
Basher’s distinctive, colourful illustrations and Tom Jackson’s lively,
engaging text will demystify pandemics, while informing kids about the
coronavirus that has changed their lives.
In autumn, a strong wind blows flower seeds high in the air and
carries them far across the land. One by one, many of the seeds are
lost -- burned by the sun, fallen into the ocean, eaten by a bird.
But some survive the long winter and, come spring, sprout into
plants, facing new dangers -- trampled by playing children, picked
as a gift for a friend. Soon only the tiniest seed remains, growing
into a giant flower and, when autumn returns, sending its own seeds
into the wind to start the process over again.
This excellent plant guide for children aged 7+ describes over 100
common British wild flowers. The book information is compatible
with the guidelines of the primary school curricula in the UK, with
extra chapters on parts of a plant and a flower, pollination,
fertilisation, seed dispersal and plant families. The plants are
arranged primarily by habitat, basically woods with hedgerows to
seaside, gardens, parks and countryside, and the description of
each species is divided into three sections: general information,
flower/fruit and leaves/stem. In addition, the plants are arranged
by colour in the Flower Colour Index, providing an extra tool to
assist identification. The layout is colourful and engaging, using
snappy symbols for height, type of pollination, Caution! sign, and
the main flowering season to aid identification even further. The
book is pocket sized to easily take it out and about, such as
walks, school trips and holiday.
Evolution and Religion in American Education shines a light into
one of America's dark educational corners, exposing the regressive
pedagogy that can invade science classrooms when school boards and
state overseers take their eyes off the ball. It sets out to
examine the development of college students' attitudes towards
biological evolution through their lives. The fascinating insights
provided by interviewing students about their world views adds up
to a compelling case for additional scrutiny of the way young
people's educational experiences unfold as they consider-and indeed
in some cases reject-one of science's strongest and most cogent
theoretical constructs. Inevitably, open discussion and
consideration of the theory of evolution can chip away at the
mental framework constructed by Creationists, eroding the
foundations of their faith. The conceptual battleground is so
fraught with logical challenges to Creationist dogma that in a
number of cases students' exposure to such dangerous ideas is
actively prevented. This book provides a detailed map of this
astonishing struggle in today's America-a struggle many had thought
was done and dusted with the onset of the Enlightenment.
