Full Description
An updated second edition of the classic and captivating book that encourages elementary and middle school children to take interest in ecology of the Chesapeake Bay by introducing them to the creatures and plants around the Bay's 2,500 square miles
The Chesapeake Bay is an amazing body of water—the largest estuary in
North America, and Amazing Chesapeake, 2nd Edition encourages students to discover and explore it through the interesting traits of the plants, animals, birds, and fish they're likely to find in and around it.
Concepts such as watershed, airshed, and food web are
explained in concise, understandable terms. A new "Citizen Science" guide to water quality empowers children and adults to monitor the health of local streams and creeks. And a "Fun-dex" game with Bay facts provides an entertaining and educational review of what they've read.
This fun and educational book will appeal not only to students, but teachers for classroom use, and it makes a great gift for any elementary or middle-schooler who lives or vacations in the area.
