Why do we need to save the earth? Does recycling really help? Does compost smell bad? Translated into North American Spanish, this series answers kids’ questions about the environment. The question-and-answer format helps build inquiry skills. A “Stay Curious!” feature encourages further learning and builds critical thinking skills.
Why is saving water important? And who uses the most water? Ignite kids’ growing curiosity about the environment with an inquiry-based approach to water conservation. We use water every day. We drink it, use it to cook, do laundry, and bathe. Farmers and factories use it, too. But our amount of freshwater is limited and is becoming polluted. What can people do to help? Conversational questions and answers guide early elementary readers on a critical thinking journey with accessible text about the water cycle, how water is cleaned to be used, and how kids can save water at home. Colorful and engaging infographics help visual learners understand new concepts. A “Stay Curious!” feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while doubling as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes table of contents, glossary, and index.
