From sandy beaches to rocky cliffs, the place where the land meets the sea is an amazing habitat. While exploring at the shore or reading at home, children ages 7 and up will be astonished by the richness and variety of creatures at the waters edge. Beautifully illustrated, with a picture reference and glossary, Seashore is just one volume from the critically acclaimed One Small Square series of hands-on science books, now available in paperback.
Super Facts for Super Kids is a fun, fresh take on animal nonfiction for beginning readers. Filled with engaging photographs, comic-style illustrations, and cool infographics, these Level 2 Ready-to-Reads are sure to flip, float, and fly off the shelves!
Alligators and crocodiles are strong enough to bite through bone, but did you know that they can’t chew their food? Readers will love learning about what makes alligators and crocodiles “super,” as well as how to tell the two animals apart. The backmatter discusses the conservation success story of the previously endangered American alligator.
This book synthesizes a wealth of international research on the
critical topic of 'fostering understanding of complex systems in
biology education'. Complex systems are prevalent in many
scientific fields, and at all scales, from the micro scale of a
single cell or molecule to complex systems at the macro scale such
as ecosystems. Understanding the complexity of natural systems can
be extremely challenging, though crucial for an adequate
understanding of what they are and how they work. The term "systems
thinking" has become synonymous with developing a coherent
understanding of complex biological processes and phenomena. For
researchers and educators alike, understanding how students'
systems thinking develops is an essential prerequisite to develop
and maintain pedagogical scaffolding that facilitates students'
ability to fully understand the system's complexity. To that end,
this book provides researchers and teachers with key insights from
the current research community on how to support learners systems
thinking in secondary and higher education. Each chapter in the
book elaborates on different theoretical and methodological
frameworks pertaining to complexity in biology education and a
variety of biological topics are included from genetics,
photosynthesis, and the carbon cycle to ecology and climate change.
Specific attention is paid to design elements of computer-based
learning environments to understand complexity in biology
education.
