This set of engaging woodland footprints is a great way for children to start their woodland explorations! Each set includes a footprint for a fox, squirrel, rabbit, frog, deer, hawk, owl and mouse. The footprint stones can be sorted by categories such as feathers, claws, diet. Children can record their findings by taking rubbings, making impressions in play clay and investigating what else they can find out about each animal. When the work is done, the children can give the footprints a good clean with soap and water before a new woodland adventure. The footprints are made from a unique stone mix and are robust enough to be used throughout an early childhood environment, both inside and outdoors. Contains eight double-sided stones (3'' approx.).

Each set includes five graduated beakers with molded pouring lip are nested for storage. Sizes include 1000 ml, 500 ml, 300 ml, 200 ml and 100 ml. Ideal for grades 1-8. Sold as 3 sets for a total of 15 beakers.

Early childhood teachers continue to seek activities that promote STEM-based learning. But most STEM books focus on science and math, excluding technology and engineering. Creative Investigations in Early Engineering and Technology helps teachers create a more well-rounded STEM learning program. Pack of 2 identical books.

• Encourage children to think, make, tinker and innovate
• Introduce engineering skills such as coding in a developmentally appropriate way
• Leverage children's use of digital technologies to help them learn new skills
• Promote active engagement and participation in classroom learning

What turns a flood event into a flood disaster? What can be done to protect crops from pests and fire? How do scientists detect likely tornado formation inside a thunderstorm? This book discusses natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, floods and droughts and looks into how scientists use their technology to try and protect people from them, such as seismology to detect earthquakes and sensors on buoys at sea to detect water pressure changes in the lookout for tsunamis, and whether these measures that are taken are effective or proactive enough.

Delve deep into ecosystems by classifying the beings that live there. Our resource breaks down the different kinds of animals before studying their different adaptations. Start off by answering the question: what do we classify? Then, break down this classification into kingdom, phylum, class, family, genus, and finally species. Compare the differences between warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals. Create a brochure on your favorite vertebrate before inventing your own invertebrate. Introduce the concept of adaptation and how animals have changed based on their environment. Take this further by conducting a case study on the adaptations of the koala. Finally, explore the concept of evolution and how this idea is backed up by fossil records. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included. Sold as a pack of 3 books.
