Synopsis

Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their living and nonliving environments. This field of science can be divided broadly into two areas: the relationship between an organism and its nonliving environment and the relationship between an organism and other organisms.

Ecology Experiments provides students and teachers with the tools they need to explore various ecological issues. The 20 new, hands-on experiments in this book allow students to learn more about this timely scientific field. Filled with vibrant full-color illustrations, as well as an index, glossary, and print and Web resources, this accessible new resource is essential in science classrooms where ecology is part of the lesson plan.

Reviews

We reviewed Space and Astronomy Experiments in our January 1 & 15, 2010, issue, and this additional volume in the Facts On File Experiments series is similar. A one-sentence overview of each investigation (20 per volume) is followed by an introduction, time requirements, materials list, procedures, sample data table, analysis questions, discussions of the scientific principles involved, their connection to real life, and further reading. Color diagrams and drawings illustrate each experiment. The series is aligned with the National Science Education Standards. Grades 6-12. --Mary Ellen Quinn
