Discover the science of the natural world - on your doorstep! Seashores are all around us, whether they are in the form of relaxing sandy beaches or towering cliffs. But, did you know, the seashores near you are brimming with life? This book uncovers the science and wonders of life on the shore. The Great Outdoors aims to get kids looking at nature on their doorstep. Instead of larger biomes, the series looks at places children are most likely to have access to, such as the local park, their back garden, or a beach. It encourages them to observe the wildlife and the ecosystems at work within these places, while taking in broader concepts. Each volume contains a minimum of 6 activities, which vary from observation to crafts, suitable for ages 7+.

Introduces common living things that continue to make a living during the winter and suggests activities for discovering what each creature looks like, where it lives, and how it survives.

This book will introduce you to the beguiling world of nocturnal animals through directed observations and hands-on exploratory activities that lead you to your own exciting discoveries.

As fish and other tide pool animals feed on seaweed, crabs use the seaweed as a place to hide from predatory seabirds. As barnacles feed on microscopic plankton, dog whelks go hunting for barnacles. And after an oystercatcher eats a dog whelk, a hermit crab that’s grown too big for its shell, moves home into the empty shell left behind by the dog whelk! Step by step, readers will explore a rock pool habitat and discover how all the living things form an ecosystem and rely on each other for survival.
