It is only natural for people to be fascinated by the sea. Life originated in the oceans, and more than one-half of the people on Earth reside within 50 miles of the sea. However, even though we have sent explorers to the moon and other regions of space, we still know little about the frontier that surrounds us. The engaging Life in the Sea set provides young readers with current, accessible information about the sea and its creatures. This comprehensive resource on the ocean's inhabitants presents living things in their physical habitats, emphasising the relationship between marine biology and marine ecology. Each volume focuses on one specific area of the marine world, discussing its physical characteristics, the living things found there, and the impact humans have on the area. The perfect companion to Facts On File's Life On Earth set, this invaluable reference presents a well-rounded view of marine life.

We are pleased to introduce the first volume of an ongoing science experiments publishing program--with annual volumes featuring brand-new experiments in all major science disciplines. Each fall a new volume in the

Science Experiments On File[trademark], Volume 5 is the final volume in a set of binders designed to support science curricula in middle and high schools. This binder is a collection of 60 new science experiments that cover the core areas of science, including biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and Earth science, as well as computer science. The experiments in this binder relate directly to national science standards, and teachers will find them useful as either foundational or supplemental material. Many of the labs are written in partial or full inquiry style, and all require students to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills such as processing, assessing, estimating, relating, evaluating, analyzing, and synthesizing. This new volume allows students the opportunity to think like scientists and find out what it really takes to solve a problem. The topics of the experiments help students make connections to their own lives.
