While including all the ocean animals kids love, Marine Science for Kidsdelves much deeper into the complete science of aquatic study, including geology, chemistry and biology in both salt- and freshwater environments more accurately reflecting the real-world study and practice of aquatic science. Kids discover how and why the ocean moves and learn the answers to questions such as Why is the ocean blue? They learn about cool creatures including sharks and rays, penguins and other seabirds, whales and dolphins, squids and octopuses and many more. They discover some of the most pressing challenges facing marine environments, but they re left feeling hopeful that they can use their talents to make a difference. Real-life marine scientists share what inspires them every day so kids can learn more about these exciting careers. Hands-on, cross-curricular activities in each chapter including science experiments, arts and crafts, edible projects and group games make learning fun."
