This book, designed with good science and easy teaching in mind, covers these concepts: a habitat is a place where plants and animals naturally live, a desert habitat has very little rainfall, a forest is a tree-covered habitat, a pond is a fresh-water habitat, an ocean is a salt-water habitat, a savanna is a grassland habitat, a polar habitat is very cold. Activities help children practice skills in: observation, analysis, communication, making comparisons, prediction, critical thinking, and recording. Areas of study address major themes such as: change, structure, function, cycles, diversity, and cause and effect. Samples of the hands-on learning experiences: observe and record characteristics and changes in a small area near the school, experiment with sponges to learn about how cactus store water, make a rainforest in a jar, write an “Ocean ABC” book, investigate how polar animals stay warm using a fan and lots of ice cubes. Contains many reproducible, ready-to-go resources.ISBN - 9788176498043
