Books with title Rivers and Oceans

Offering an activity-based introduction to geography, this series introduces concepts gradually and simply, and supports them with activities which aim to be both easy and enjoyable - from building a gushing geyser and making a sundial to designing a Treasure Island map. Panel boxes provide real-life analogies, such as showing how toffee sets hard to illustrate how lava turns to rock. Focusing on rivers and oceans, this book starts with a description of the different forms of water in the world, and introduces the water cycle. Among the specific topics covered are the various stages in the life of a river, with a feature page on the Nile; the currents, waves and tides of oceans and seas; underground rivers; lakes; and water pollution. The activities include measuring the speed of a river's current and making a water filter.

Most of our planet consists of water. But where does all that water go to? The water in all those rivers, seas and oceans, is it the same? Is it blue everywhere? Is it salty or sweet? What animals are living in the water? And what else can you see deep underwater in the sea? When you read this big book about water, you'll get to know a lot about the most beautiful water spots on earth, and so much more! Guided Reading Level S

Follow the nonstop journey of water as it rushes along in rivers and streams, travels beneath the ground, rests in lakes, crashes against coastlines, and flows into the ocean.
