Why are rivers and streams important to life on Earth? In Rivers and Streams! With 25 Science Projects for Kids, readers ages 7 to 10 dive in and discover how rivers change the shape of the land while plants, animals, and humans change the shape of rivers. Kids learn about the vital role that rivers and streams have played in human history and explore the ways rivers and streams might affect our future. Talking about earth science means talking about climate change. How are rivers affected by our changing climate, and what can we do to help rivers and streams stay healthy in their changing environment? Rivers and Streams encourages kids to think creatively as they search for actionable solutions to the problems faced by today's waterways. Student-led science projects that promote the use of the scientific method let kids get their hands wet and their minds working as they make real-life connections to the text. Fun facts, engaging illustrations, links to primary sources, timeline, glossary, and resources make this a terrific introduction to one of earth's most important resources--rivers and streams! Rivers and Streams! is part of a set of four Explore Waterways books from Nomad Press.

Through science-minded STEAM projects and experiments that encourage readers to think of waterways as part of a larger ecosystem, kids develop critical and creative thinking skills about the role waterways play in our world. Other titles in the Explore Waterways set include Lakes and Ponds!, Oceans and Seas!, and Marshes and Swamps!
