Thirteen hands-on activities that encourage children to explore living things.

Find out about this vast and rich storehouse of living things through lively descriptions of ocean plants and animals. From plankton too small for the naked eye to see, to sharks as big as a school bus, kids discover how each marine wonder has adapted to the ocean''s unique conditions. Detailed drawings and full-color photographs bring the ocean to the reader, while the accompanying text explores the mysteries of Earth''s oceans and ocean life. Safe and simple experiments and activities that can be done at home or in the classroom give children hands-on experience with marine life.

With compelling writing and vivid images, Whales, Dolphins & Porpoises delves into the world of the cetaceans of the Pacific Northwest, exploring the past, present and future of orca, humpback, gray and minke whales as well as of Pacific white-sided dolphins and Dall''s and harbour porpoises..
