Geology of the Pacific Northwest: Investigate How the Earth Was Formed with 15 Projects (Build It Yourself series) - Softcover
Synopsis
Venturing through two of the most diverse and fascinating regions of North America, these activity books combine the subjects of geology and physical geography while making them captivating and fun. With a different approach, this series reveals the underlying processes for kids, explaining each region’s evolution and illustrating the different forces of nature that have changed the continent over time. The lush forests of the Pacific Northwest, the dry and arid deserts of the Southwest, and even the volcanoes and rainforests of Hawaii are all explored in detail as the chapters chronicle the effects of plate tectonics; landforms such as mountains, plateaus, and canyons; and the elements of climates and ecosystems. A plethora of hands-on projects ensure the learning process is both engaging and entertaining, including making a swamp cooler, creating a rift zone, building a seismograph, constructing basalt columns and water wheels to harness the power of a river, fashioning moving tectonic plates, and even mimicking nature’s process of carving an arch.

Review
"This excellent little book about the geology of the Pacific Northwest makes learning Earth science both fun and practical." —www.nsta.org (August 5, 2011)
"Let me start by saying that any activity book that uses candy bars to demonstrate plate tectonics is going to be a hit at our house, without question, and Geology of the Pacific Northwest does just that. Fifteen hands-on projects are interspersed through the lessons on geology and geography in general, plate tectonics, and geographical features found in the Pacific Northwest." —www.EclecticHomeschool.org
"This is a book that will appeal to young scientists and bring their learning to life." —www.clcd.com
