Ocean & Water Words

By: Montena, Kala

Turn a child's questions about the sea into an introduction to ocean science.

Ocean & Water Words explores sixteen ideas about water and marine life, including currents, coral, kelp, plankton, buoyancy, estuaries, depth and the seafloor. Photographs, scientific images and simplified models bring underwater places and processes into view.

Follow a river towards the coast. Compare shorelines. Discover the hidden underside of an iceberg. With a grown-up, predict whether an object will float and test the idea in shallow water. A tide-pool photograph invites close observation while leaving living things undisturbed.

Each topic combines a short explanation, questions for conversation and a two-step activity. Guidance for adults helps explain the models and choose suitable ways to explore.

Written for ages 4 and up to share with a grown-up, this early nonfiction book fits preschool ocean themes, homeschool marine science and family reading before or after a shore visit. Children can begin with the pictures wherever they live; a trip to the sea is not required.
