Other editions of book Wetlands and Deserts

This new addition to Didax's Earth Awareness series explores two of Earth's least understood environments. Wetlands and deserts are major biomes and play a vital role in the health of the planet. This comprehensive reproducible resource will help students in grades 5-8 gain an in-depth understanding of the plants and animals that inhabit wetlands and deserts, the impact of humans, and the steps being taken to conserve these precious habitats. Each reading selection on one aspect of the theme is followed by a worksheet with comprehension questions and an activity extending the concepts learned. Cross-curricular suggestions, teacher notes, and topic quizzes with answers are included.
