tour of coast ecology

The mix of geography, social studies and environmental science is wonderful. The book starts the reader out in Maine and ends up down in Florida. It covers rocky coasts, sandy beaches, estuary, salt marshes and coral reefs. The material is age 9-12 age appropriate while using the appropriate vocab; such as organism, habitat, biological community etc. The information will prepare, (introduce), the student for 8th grade science. The bits of information are teasers to learn more. "Fewer oysters are able to filter less water. The bay [Chesapeake] once held enough oysters to filter its water in three to six days. The oysters that live in the bay today would take more than a year to do so." How do they do that? Read another book to find out.
