Book Description

For millions of years, volcanic activity beneath the Earth’s crust has been turning rocks into granite. The rocks were uplifted, forming a small mountain range with small streams and creeks weaving their way through the valleys. Surface volcanoes erupted, covering the area in lava. The streams cut new paths. The land was again uplifted; streams and erosion cut canyons. Then the Earth cooled and froze. Glaciers filled the valleys, running down the rivers and cutting the canyons into wide valleys. As the Ice Age retreated, the Sierra Nevada mountain range and Yosemite were left uncovered. So how much do you know about this fantastic place? Can you answer these questions? What was the longest glacier in Yosemite? Are there any glaciers in Yosemite today? How many meadows does Yosemite have? What plant is among the largest and oldest living things on earth? What is frazil ice? Find out more about Yellowstone, the world’s first National Park, and amaze your family and friends with these fun facts. All measurements in American and metric.

Book Description

People sweat to stay cool. The water comes out of our skin. As it dries, it takes the heat from our body with it. This helps us to stay cool. If the water is not drying fast enough, we can sit in front of a fan. This takes the water off our bodies faster. If that is not enough, we can add more water to our skin. We do this by running through a sprinkler or going swimming. Now that is a lot of water on your body. And all of that water is taking away some of the heat. That is how we stay cool. But many animals do not sweat. They also do not have sprinklers they can run through! They have to find other ways to stay cool. Here is how they do it. Ages 7 to 12 and up. All measurements in American and metric. Reading level: 3.4 Educational Versions include exercises designed to meet Common Core Standards.

Book Description

Reptiles lay their eggs on land and most spend a lot of their time out of the water. While this is a fact today, it wasn’t always this way! Living on land is an adaptation reptiles underwent millions of years ago. Even more adaptations, such as how reptiles regulate their body temperature and their scaly skin, are more apparent to those studying crocodiles, turtles, and other reptiles in modern times. Using a unique format of short facts, this book introduces readers to the science concepts of evolution as well as the features that classify an animal as a reptile.
