This series introduces the reader to the major aspects of science covered in the first years of school. 'All Kinds of Habitats' looks at places animals and plants live, and at how living things adapt to their environment.
A habitat is the natural place where a plant or animal lives. This book helps children explore the different kinds of habitats that are home to animals on our planet.
This new series for the very young highlights the defining characterisitics of habitats, including the plant and animal life, using examples from around the world. Award-winning author Cathryn Sill and her husband, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill, offer young readers a first glimpse into desert habitats. In simple, easy-to-understand language, this guide teaches children what deserts are, what kinds of animals and plants live there, and how certain species have adapted to the unique challenges of surviving in this harsh environment. John Sill's beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations reflect the diversity of desert topography-from the vast dunes of the Arabian Desert to the rocky Chihuahuan Desert in the southwestern U.S.-and the astonishing varieties of desert wildlife. A glossary and afterword provide young readers with further fascinating details on the desert, its creatures, and its conditions.
Animal habitats are a common early elementary curriculum topic, but these colorful guides to the desert, Arctic, ocean, and rainforest provide a fresh and fun look at familiar material. A vibrant design combines full-color photographs of amazing natural landscapes, plants, and animals with delightful illustrated elements. In addition, eye-catching fact boxes support the informative main text. This globe-trotting reading experience not only supplements basic life science lessons, but it also encourages a deeper appreciation for biodiversity and a sense of curiosity about the natural world.
Did you know that half of the planets animals and plants can be found in the rainforest? Meet gorillas, boa constrictors, and more in the pages of My Home in the Rainforest.
What do you call the place where you live? Do all plants and animals live on land? Where else can you find them? Are there living things in every part of our planet? A habitat is the home of an animal or a plant, from the hottest desert to the coldest mountain top. LetÂ’s learn about habitats and why we need to conserve them.

This classroom resource provides clear, concise scientific information in an understandable and enjoyable way about water and aquatic life. Spanning the hydrologic cycle from rain to watersheds, aquifers to springs, rivers to estuaries, ample illustrations promote understanding of important concepts and clarify major ideas. Aquatic science is covered comprehensively, with relevant principles of chemistry, physics, geology, geography, ecology, and biology included throughout the text. Emphasizing water sustainability and conservation, the book tells us what we can do personally to conserve for the future and presents job and volunteer opportunities in the hope that some students will pursue careers in aquatic science. Texas Aquatic Science, originally developed as part of a multi-faceted education project for middle and high school students, can also be used at the college level for non-science majors, in the home-school environment, and by anyone who educates kids about nature and water.
