Nye the Science Guy’s Big Blue Ocean
Grades K–8
Make a tsunami in your bathtub! Okay, so it’s only a little tsunami, but it’s still a fun way to learn about the ocean and sea life. Witty Bill Nye helps children explore marine biology through lively descriptions, silly pictures, and offbeat experiments with basketballs, balloons, and squid (or a reasonable facsimile) to try at home or in school.

Water
Matters, Volume 1: Wetlands, Water Use, and Wastewater Treatment
Grades K–8
Captivate your students with these clever and colorful “Where’s Waldo”-like posters. Each Water Matters volume comes with six posters (three with text geared for elementary students and three for middle level) that can be displayed separately or linked together to form a huge, nine-poster mural! The teacher’s guides have activities that directly tie into the poster scenes, depicting wetlands, water use, wastewater treatment, navigation, groundwater, water quality, oceans, watersheds, and hazardous waste. Whether for introductory use or as a detailed curriculum unit on water education, Water Matters covers it all!
