Children naturally are fascinated by the world around them, exploring the make-up of their world, including the animals, plants, and organisms that inhabit it, at an early age. Hands-On Ecology develops children's fascination with their world by giving them a front-row seat in the exploration of various ecological habitats. The book gives teachers the tools they need to create an extensive, in-depth study of ecology, including background information on ecosystems, how to set up a hands-on study of their local ecosystem, a look at how human populations affect the environment, and viable ways classrooms can contribute to conservationism.
Grades 3–5

Review by: James Cox, Midwest Book Review - February 12, 2007
Gifted intervention specialist Colleen Kessler presents Hands-On Ecology: Real-Life Activities for Kids, a guide filled with activities for parents, babysitters, educators, and home schoolers meant to teach conservation and environmentalism to kids in grades 3–5. Featuring in-depth activities for Earth Day, some hands-on classroom suggestions include building a mini-woodland habitat, basic composting, crafting a milk carton birdfeeder, studying photosynthesis, and much more. Black-and-white illustrations and reproducible activity forms round out the excellent educational supplement.
