 Grasslands are wide, sweeping expanses of land with many different grasses and very few trees. In Grasslands, students will examine the importance of these regions that produce much of the world's food. From the prairies of the Great Plains to the savannas of Africa, discover the characteristics that all grasslands have in common beginning with the most obvious -- grass! A fun, hands-on experiment illustrates how students can measure the moisture content of two different soils, while an ecologist discusses how scientists are trying to restore grassland regions to their original state. One of eight volumes in the Biomes of the World in Action DVD Series in the Schlessinger Science Library. Part of the Schlessinger Science Library in Action Collection. This title is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Life Science: structure & function in living systems, reproduction & heredity, regulation & behavior, populations & ecosystems and diversity & adaptations of organisms. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
| "The pace...will hold students attention...women are shown in non-traditional roles. The material is accurate and current, and presented in a logical manner. The visuals are excellent...a great addition to school library collections."- School Library Journal "...the pace is rapid, yet topics are explored in adequate detail…makes science look like a fun thing to be engaged in. The students doing field or laboratory work in the tape are obviously enjoying themselves."- Science Books & Films (May/June 2004)
