A Day in an Ecosystem (Groups 1 - 2)

Imagine a video camera focused over a lake, a marsh, the sea, an estuary, a grassland, or the Taiga. What would you see in twenty-four hours? This collection takes students through the changes in light, temperature, and natural activities that occur in these ecosystems over the course of a day, and introduce them to the plants and creatures that enter the picture at daybreak, in daylight, at dusk, and at dark. Features include: Maps that illustrate each ecosystem. Sidebars on notable creatures and plants. STEM-based content in biology, geography, and ecology is presented in easy-to-understand language that will interest and educate young readers.
