Flowchart Smart

The organisms in an ecosystem are interdependent; they are linked. The most effective way to demonstrate the connections between life forms is visual, with the graphic organizers called flowcharts. This beneficial set, a boon to any life science collection, examines critical ecosystems including deserts, rain forests, and oceans, and the interactions of their inhabitants, both plant and animal. Flowcharts highlight important concepts in each chapter, such as the formation of deltas and the life cycle of a frog. Colorful photographs will make readers excited about many aspects of environmental science. Features include: Multiple STEM topics are covered throughout the volumes. Each book concludes with a report about the future of the ecosystem, touching on conservation and climate change. Supports interpreting information presented visually, which is an informational text standard of the Common Core.
