Polluted Planet
We often hear warnings about the future of the planet if
our current rates of pollution do not change. It's difficult to imagine what an
Earth irreversibly ravaged by pollution would look and feel like...until now.
Part science fiction, part science fact, this collection presents the scary
consequences. Each captivating volume is a fictional narrative packed with facts
about a particular pollution dilemma, including the overuse or misuse of fossil
fuels, plastics, toxins, and nuclear energy. The clever design looks like a
young narrator's journal, complete with carefully chosen action photographs that
support the scientific concepts found within.
• The accessible texts are made
even more inviting by a relatable young narrator
• Readers learn about
actions that can be taken today to slow or prevent damage to our planet
•
Supports the elementary Earth science curriculum as well as key standards in the
