Realizing the importance and fragility of the world's ecosystems is critical for today's students. Acid rain, global warming, the endangerment and extinction of a variety of plants and animals are real threats to our very survival. Our unit takes a close look at the different habitats that make up the world's ecosystems, and the components of these habitats that make them unique. Our unit also examines aspects such as the adaptation of plants and animals to change, and the infringement of civilization. It is hoped that students will not only gain a better understanding of the world they live in, but may also be more concerned with protecting the fragile environment of which we are all a part of. This Animal Science lesson provides a teacher and student section with a variety of reading passages, activities, crossword, word search, and answer key to create a well-rounded lesson plan.

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.
