Why do we need to save the earth? Does recycling really help? Does compost smell bad? Translated into North American Spanish, this series answers kids' questions about the environment. The question-and-answer format helps build inquiry skills. A "Stay Curious " feature encourages further learning and builds critical thinking skills.
What is composting and how does it work? And does it stink? Ignite kids' growing curiosity about the green living with an inquiry-based approach to composting. Composting takes food scraps, dry leaves, and old newspapers, and with the help of billions of tiny bacteria, turns it into nutrient soil for gardens. Conversational questions and answers guide early elementary readers on a critical thinking journey with accessible text about what to put in compost bins, how to make sure it doesn't smell, the difference between hot and cold composts, and how composting can help save the Earth from climate change. Colorful and engaging infographics help visual learners understand new concepts. A "Stay Curious " feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while doubling as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes table of contents, glossary, and index.
