Mollusks are in the scientific group Mollusca and are soft-bodied animals that live in oceans and lakes and on land. The three types of mollusks are gastropods (snails and slugs), bivalves (clams and oysters), and cephalopods (octopuses and squids). All mollusks have organs and a mantle that covers the organs, one or more feet or arms, and a shell on the inside or outside of the body. A snail has a foot (a large muscle used for…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
biology; elementary science; life science; home school; Real Science-4-Kids; gastropod; bivalve; cephalopod; mollusk; Mollusca; radulaSnails are a type of mollusk. Mollusks are in the scientific group Mollusca and are soft-bodied animals that live in oceans and lakes and on land. The three types of mollusks are gastropods (snails and slugs), bivalves (clams and oysters), and cephalopods (octopuses and squids). All mollusks have organs and a mantle that covers the organs, one or more feet or arms, and a shell on the inside or outside of the body. A snail has a foot (a large muscle used for moving), eyes on the tips of eyestalks, a toothed tongue called a radula, and a spiral shell. It moves slowly, leaving a trail of slime behind. The slime helps a snail stick to and move along a surface and protects the snail's body from sharp objects. There are many different kinds of snails that live on land and in fresh and salt water. Some people eat snails. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5, Word count 326, Lexile measure 560L.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Rebecca Woodbury received her PhD in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. While home schooling her three children, Dr. Woodbury was unable to find a curriculum that provided a solid foundation in science. She left academia, and using her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, she developed a series of science books for kids. The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in science and gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. "We should not rely on the 'experts' but instead learn how to critically evaluate every scientific claim," states Dr. Woodbury. "In these uncertain times with so many social, scientific, and economic problems, it is not enough to teach our kids what to learn. We must also teach them how to learn, and we must encourage our kids to learn from others. Part of learning from others is to know how to engage in productive debate." The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum, with its engaging, kid-friendly Student Textbooks; Laboratory Notebooks full of real science experiments; and easy to use Teacher's Manuals, provides kids with a solid science education in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This curriculum is used in all 50 states in the US and many other countries. Dr. Woodbury and her publishing team continue to develop and test new products at the Real Science-4-Kids Albuquerque headquarters.
