Download or read book Moby Duck written by Donovan Hohn and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by The New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of the Year A revelatory tale of science, adventure, and modern myth. When the writer Donovan Hohn heard of the mysterious loss of thousands of bath toys at sea, he figured he would interview a few oceanographers, talk to a few beachcombers, and read up on Arctic science and geography. But questions can be like ocean currents: wade in too far, and they carry you away. Hohn's accidental odyssey pulls him into the secretive world of shipping conglomerates, the daring work of Arctic researchers, the lunatic risks of maverick sailors, and the shadowy world of Chinese toy factories. Moby-Duck is a journey into the heart of the sea and an adventure through science, myth, the global economy, and some of the worst weather imaginable. With each new discovery, Hohn learns of another loose thread, and with each successive chase, he comes closer to understanding where his castaway quarry comes from and where it goes. In the grand tradition of Tony Horwitz and David Quammen, Moby-Duck is a compulsively readable narrative of whimsy and curiosity.

Download or read book Perfect Pairs 3 5 written by Melissa Stewart and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hands-on lessons can be fun and compelling, but when it comes to life science, they aren't always possible, practical, effective, or safe. Children can't follow wolves as they hunt elk, visit a prehistoric swamp, or shrink down to the size of a molecule and observe photosynthesis firsthand. But they can explore a whole world of animals, plants, and ecosystems through the pages of beautifully illustrated, science-themed picture books. Perfect Pairs , which marries fiction and nonfiction picture books focused on life science, helps educators think about and teach life science in a whole new way. Each of the twenty lessons in this book is built around a pair of books that introduces a critical life science concept and guides students through an inquiry-based investigative process to explore that idea-;from life cycles and animal-environment interactions to the inheritance of traits and the critical role of energy in our world. Each lesson starts with a Wonder Statement and comprises three stages. Engaging Students features a hands-on activity that captures student interest, uncovers current thinking, and generates vocabulary. The heart of the investigative process, Exploring with Students, spotlights the paired books as the teacher reads aloud and helps students find and organize information into data tables. Encouraging Students to Draw Conclusions shows students how to review and analyze the information they have collected. Bringing high-quality science-themed picture books into the classroom engages a broad range of students, addresses the Performance Expectations outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards, and supports the goals of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. Even if you are science shy, Perfect Pairs can help you become a more confident teacher whose classroom buzzes with curious students eager to explore their natural world.

Download or read book The Fabulous Duck Derby written by Wallis and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Have you heard people say that if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, then it is a duck? You need to be aware that ducks are not necessarily what they seem...” For adults with too much imagination and children who’ve mentally grown up, The Fabulous Duck Derby is a novel in which the leading characters are highly intelligent ducks in a world dominated by us, white apes – or ‘huminks’. Ducks have always been intelligent; it’s just that they were bright enough to keep quiet about it. But after centuries of keeping quiet they finally crack – or quack. They’re doing it for themselves, heroically overcoming all obstacles, and in doing so display the quality formerly known as humanity. The novel’s hero is Elvis, a silver duck making a living as an Elvis Presley impersonator on the fading Northern club circuit. He hits Millbridge, a glowering relic of the Industrial Revolution, during the politically-correct Duck Awareness Week, but despite his obvious talent he can’t hack it at the club. The place is on its last legs and in suspicious hands too. Paid off with a cheque that bounces and beaten up when he tries to collect his money, Elvis loses his voice and is forced to seek alternative employment. A letter from his mother – ducks are inveterate letter-writers – gives him the idea of organising a duck derby with real ducks. After all, everyone’s seen races with plastic ducks – and the ducks just keel over and float on their sides. Attacked by a shadowy political party who are criminally opposed to duck rights and keen to isolate and exploit the secret to duck intelligence, Elvis and his friends fight to stage their race and to change humanity’s view of the world. Written in a style of Nick Park (of Wallace and Gromit) meets Kurt Vonnegut, The Fabulous Duck Derby is a humorous and inventive novel that will appeal to big kids – and clever little ones.
