This review is from: Life in a Bucket of Soil (Dover Children's Science Books) (Paperback)
Have you ever been interested in the sex life of worms? What about parasites and how they eat? This book has simple but informative drawings and somewhat easy text that go into just enough detail to keep you interested. It offers suggestions on how to do soil experiments and breaks the subject matter into 10 chapters, one for each group of critters. Very fascinating in a creepy, crawley way.

This review is from: Life in a Bucket of Soil (Dover Children's Science Books) (Paperback)
This is a really great little book to use to introduce 5th and 6th graders to the micro world which exists in the soil. This will inspire them to "dig' deeper, so to speak, in learning more about the environment beneath their feet.
