Marine Science for Kids: Exploring and Protecting Our Watery World, Includes Cool Careers and 21 Activities

I bought this book for my 12 years old daughter, she loves it.

Great for our Oceanography homeschool curriculum. We are using 'Salt and light' and she recommends to use both this book and Ocean Anatomy. We do science once a week and read this book. So far the favorite projects have been the world and body of water with cookies and Marshmallow coral reef. Im glad it came back in stocj

We love the Hestermann's first book (Zoology for Kids) soooo much and have been re-reading, gifting copies, & recommending it to everyone we know for years. So we have been patiently waiting for this new prize, and I'm happy to report that it doesn't disappoint! Our homeschool family just finished a semester of Apologia's Swimming Creatures curriculum, which sparked an interest in our 10 and 5 yr olds, and now Marine Science for Kids has quickly turned that into a passion. My 10 yr old daughter put it perfectly, "Now that we finally finished studying, we have time to read more of THIS book!!" I love that it's not in the boring-textbook category to her, but in fact she's actually being very well educated by this delightful resource! We've been especially enjoying it as we prepare for summer travels to oceans and lakes, it's a sneaky way to make vacations into field trips! Ha ha! Instead of just dry science explanations, this book brings marine biology to life in a way the kids can apply to their world;* great photos and stories about creatures and habitats we could see on vacation or in aquariums* bizarre creatures we never knew existed (vampire squid?!)* activities ("catch the salmon! tag game" is now a standard for our neighborhood full of kids!)* real-world applicable and easy to understand descriptions about careers in marine science, conservation, etc.As you can tell from the photo~ as we pack for our lake vacation, we won't be leaving home without this book!

I bought "Marine Science for Kids" for my Grandsons, as they have the Hestermann's first book "Zoology for Kids" which they have enjoyed reading and learning from. After receiving this one and looking through it, I wanted one for myself !! It is full of interesting information, very cool pictures, and fun games! I recommend this book for kids of all ages (even Grandma's). This is a great educational tool for kids interested in Marine Science, or just to educate ourselves on how to protect and enjoy our oceans, lakes and the beautiful creatures that inhabit them.

I got this book for my two boys, age 9 and 11. They absolutely love this! The knowledge and information that is jammed packed in this book is very informative and both boys have learned a tremendous amount. The activities are absolutely fun as well. Definitely recommend this book!
