What's the difference between a desert and a rain forest? A tundra
and a coniferous forest? These are all examples of biomes, and they
are all home to plants and animals that are uniquely adapted to
live in those environments! In Biomes: Discover the Earth's
Ecosystems with Science Activities for Kids, middle school kids
journey across the planet and visit the world's nine terrestrial
and aquatic biomes to learn about the distinctive climates,
geologies, resources, and organisms that can be found there. Kids
will wander through forests, sizzle in deserts, shiver in the
tundra, slog through marshy waters, and plunge beneath the seas to
explore coral reefs. Along the way, readers will encounter the
flora and fauna adapted for survival in each unique climate zone.
They'll learn about gnarly krumholz trees, bioluminescent sea
creatures, camouflage, carnivorous plants, and blubbery marine
critters. The health and wellbeing of the world's biomes are an
essential part of the balance of the planet as a whole. Biomes and
their inhabitants around the world are being threatened by climate
change and human behavior. In Biomes, kids will learn how to take
steps toward positive change and keep the environment healthy and
functioning in a way that best supports sustainable life on Earth!
Biomes includes hands-on STEM activities and critical thinking
exercises to encourage readers to consider threats to the
environment and figure out ways to be part of the solution. Fun
facts, links to online primary sources and other supplemental
material, and essential questions take readers on an exploration of
the biomes of Earth. Biomes is part of a set of four Build It
Environmental Science books that explore the history and science of
the planet and all that live on it through hands-on STEM activities
and real-life environmental connections. Other titles in this
series are Planet Earth, Garbage, and Biodiversity. Nomad Press
books integrate content with participation. Common Core State
Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, and STEM
Education all place project-based learning as key building blocks
in education. Combining content with inquiry-based projects
stimulates learning and makes it active and alive. Nomad's unique
approach simultaneously grounds kids in factual knowledge while
allowing them the space to be curious, creative, and critical
thinkers.
