Take a walk in the desert. It''s hot and dry--and full of life. An elf owl peers out at you from its home, a hole in a saguaro cactus. Nearby, a desert tortoise stretches its neck to nibble on a wildflower. From the thick green stems of cacti to fluffy jackrabbits, the desert is teeming with life. Narrative text and you-are-there photos put the reader in the middle of this misunderstood biome and critical habitat.

Discusses the scientific studies of the ozone layer in the Earth''s atmosphere, and the causes and effects of depletions of this layer.

Provides opportunities for students to develop and apply fundamental mathematical and scientific skills.

Examines how some animals communicate through the chemicals known as pheromones.

Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Three states of matter include solid, liquid, or gas. Matter can change states. Matter is made of atoms. These atoms bond together as molecules that can form elements, compounds, or mixtures. Matter can undergo physical and chemical changes. Chemical changes occur after a chemical reaction.

Ice and water are both the same kind of matter, but, when water becomes ice, it can be transformed into art!

"Patients diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus type 1 at a small Midwest critical access hospital are receiving inconsistent diabetic teaching and follow-up education by multiple staff; thus, patients are getting mixed messages on how to care for themselves at home. Staff nurses were surveyed at this small Midwest critical access hospital and were supportive of an in-service on Diabetes Mellitus type 1. An array of teaching/learning styles was reviewed in search for the best style to teach Diabetes Mellitus type 1 to the staff nurses. Based on the concepts in Pender''s health promotion model (2011) individuals look to regulate their own behaviors to reach optimal health. These behaviors can be identified and adjusted through nursing interventions ... An interactive in-service focused on Diabetes Mellitus type 1 education was designed for staff nurses to attend and motivate them in an encouraging environment."--Abstract.

An introduction to the properties of matter how matter changes in chemical reactions.
