Books with title Non Living Things

Black Creek, South Carolina: a small town in the swamps that convinces itself that nothing bad has ever happened and nothing bad ever will. Black Creek is the sort of place where young girls roam the streets free to imagine who they are and who they’ll become. Where women sell pies and plants at the courthouse square. Where the fire department rescues cats from the tops of electric poles. And what trouble there is, they’ll tell you, stays past the town limits, in the run-down house-turned-strip-club and Lake Darpo, where certain birds are going extinct. These eleven closely related portraits show that the real threats have long taken root. Black Creek is a place of poignancy and absurdity, love and loss, loneliness and the brief charges of connection. Its residents will do almost anything to protect what they think is theirs.

This book exposes Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students to the wonders of science using living and nonliving things as a guide. Within the pages of this book are various types of animals, trees, and plants and how they adapt and change continually based on the different weather patterns and seasons. The author Siegfried Howell has taught science, for over 20 years, to all levels of students, from kindergarten to high school students. He has used his knowledge of curricula to deconstruct the state standards for each grade level and bring concepts that help students understand life science. Using the Common Core standards as a guide, this series brings to life the ways that all living things must adapt to live and adapt to their environment.The “My Friend Ziggy Knows Life Science” series includes four books that cover topics outlined by Common Core for pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten students:•Identifies the characteristics of living things•Identifies the characteristics of nonliving things•Observe and identifies similarities between plants and animals•Observe and identifies differences between plants and animals•Can classify living and nonliving things based on known characteristics of living things•Explains the need for plants and animals to consume water and food•Identifies simple life cycles and adaptations of plants and animals as they live in their environmentThe four books in this series include:•The ABCs of Science (book 1)•The 5 Senses In Science (book 2)•Living and Nonliving Things (book 3)•Cycles and Patterns (book 4)Although this book has a simple approach to science exposure, it will stimulate a student’s curiosity to learn more about the world around them. When students have a burning desire to learn, science is easier to understand as they move from grade to grade. I hope that this book sparks an interest in students to ask questions and learn more about the different science topics explained in the pages of this book.

We all know that our friends, family, and beloved pets are living things. So are the animals in the zoo, plants in the ground, and teeny creatures we can't even see. Readers of this illuminating book will learn fun facts about many different kinds of living things, from tiny parasites and fungi to huge elephants and sharks. With the help of eye-catching photographs and engaging text, readers will gain a stronger understanding of humankind's earthly cohabitants.

Living things come in all shapes and sizes. The animal kingdom is vast, and scientists have separated organisms into groups based on different shared characteristics. What makes animals different from each other? What traits do they have that overlap? Through this engaging book, readers learn all the biological differences that help animals survive and thrive in the wild. Pictograms and infographics make digesting this scientific information easy, and readers who struggle to obtain information from traditional textbooks will find this book especially helpful.

Sixteen-year-old Amy doesn't like anything to die, she won't even eat the goats or chickens her mama has butchered every fall, but she can't let herself pity the inhabitants of New Lithisle.

At first her only goal is to escape, but when she meets Daniel, a New Lithisle boy, she begins to question how less-than-human the people of New Lithisle are.Amy's feelings grow even more conflicted when she learns she didn't end up in New Lithisle by mistake. Her father is secretly a sympathizer, and was trying to prevent the coming destruction.Now time is running short and Amy has to decide if she will bring the computer program her father wrote to his contact or save herself.
