It hasn't rained in the forest for many weeks. And in the sunny clearing, everything is dry and scorched. Then, late one afternoon, a hot wind begins to blow and storm clouds gather. But instead of rain, lightning fills the sky and strikes a tall tree beside the clearing. The lightning strike shoots down the tree and ignites the dry vegetation below. In no time, the forest is engulfed in flame. Soon there is nothing left but the charred ruins of the forest, devoid of life.

But the story is not over. Slowly and gradually, life returns to the forest - from the seeds that blow in on the wind and germinate, to the small creatures that have survived in their burrows below the ground. It will take many years; but eventually the forest will return, filled with life once more.

Di Bentley, Mike Watts
R3,029 Discovery Miles 30 290 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The authors' intention is to examine communication in classroom processes as it relates to both individual learning and group work, and to consider this against the requirements of the National Curriculum in science. The framework for science requires teachers to examine traditional teaching techniques within classrooms and laboratories. They need to explore new strategies through projects, investigations, group work, games, simulations, videos, educational drama and role play - and ubiquitous coursework. This in turn raises a series of important questions about the nature of inidvidual learning, participation in group work, and the act of communication. For example, can classroom tasks be chosen which allow pupils to demonstrate their understanding?; is it possible to encourage pupils to feel that they own the tasks they undertake sufficiently to want to communicate the results to others?; within group work, can all the participants be encouraged to own a single task?; and can individual contributions be gauged from the outcomes of the group?

Butts are funny, but they're also useful! Humans use their butts for two primary functions--sitting and pooping. It's the same for most other animals. However, some species have adapted to use their backsides in several surprising ways. Did you know manatees swim using farts? Or that herrings communicate by passing gas? There are animals that use their butts to protect themselves; others build things with their butts; and some breathe through their butts! Focusing on ten different animals and their derrieres, and offering fun facts about their origin, habitat, and "posterior power," this hilarious book captures the wonder of our ecosystem. Structured as a "battle" in which each animal is a "challenger" to see who has the most formidable rear, Battle of the Butts allows young readers to rank their favorite butts.
