Synopsis

Meet these extraordinary living fossils --the amphibians! Explore their complicated life cycle with an engaging set of activities. ScienceWiz Online Discovery Frogs, Toads and Amphibians includes hands-on projects and an access code to a web-based book. This new type of book combines online storytelling with 3-D manipulations, interactive explorations and sing-along songs. It includes an extraordinary collection of embedded videos: outrageous, endearing, informative. Watch a time-lapse video of metamorphosis. Frogs are incredible shape-shifters. They start as water-breathing swimmers -- tadpoles. They transform into air-breathing adults. With these transformations, amphibians became the first vertebrates to walk on land!

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Penny Norman, Ph.D. earned a doctoral degree in Biophysics from U.C. Berkeley. She became involved with the development of primary grade science materials through volunteer work, which she began as her own children started school. During this process she became deeply concerned about the limited exposure of elementary age students to the physical sciences.

Her concern has translated into a 20 year effort to test and revamp science materials for the primary grades. Her work with children developed into a product line initially under the auspices of grants from the National Science Foundation and the Franklin Foundation. Her published titles reflect Dr. Norman's extensive testing and involvement with children and teachers and her love and commitment to both.

Editor: Ann Einstein, M.A.T. from George Washington University in Washington D.C., was a teacher in the Berkeley Unified School District. She has been involved with the education of children for most of her adult career as a director of early childhood education programs, as a teacher in gifted and talented programs and most recently as an elementary education teacher. She has been an editor of the ScienceWiz(TM) Books since 1994 when she edited the ElectroWiz(TM) Electricity book. Ann brings a clarity of mind and the capacity to see things through a child's eyes to the editing process.

To quote an Einstein of an earlier generation:

"We never cease to stand like curious children before the great Mystery into which we were born." - Albert Einstein
