An introduction to marine biology takes young readers on a whale watch, guides them through a visit to a salt marsh estuary, and shows them how to set up their own salt-water aquarium.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-9-Learning about nature through firsthand observation is the focus of these fascinating, well-organized titles. The books offer experiments, activities, and suggestions for field trips and collecting specimens. Invertebrate Zoology outlines ways to identify and study such species as earthworms, leeches, sponges, crayfish, etc., each within its specific habitat. Among the projects discussed in Marine Biology are setting up a saltwater aquarium, shell collecting, exploring a salt marsh, and starting a pressed seaweed collection or herbarium. Copious full-color photographs of the highlighted animal and plant life and of students at the Children's School of Science at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, on their investigational excursions are instructive and make the discussions all the more meaningful. Common-sense safety advice and addresses of biological supply companies are provided. These series entries are excellent resources-especially for classroom projects. Elizabeth Shepherd's No Bones (Macmillan, 1988) and Peter Loewer's The Inside-Out Stomach (Atheneum, 1990) are good sources about invertebrates but lack experiments or activities.
