Detective Dogs
A lively introduction to some of North America's most troublesome invasive species--and to the industrious dogs and handlers working to stop their spread! Meet Fenton and Frost; Fagen and Dia; Hilo, Diesel, and Seuss. These intrepid environmental detectives are on the frontlines of the fight to stop the spread of invasive species--and all of them are dogs! Pervasive and often difficult to locate, invasive species, and the economic and environmental harm they cause, have posed a continued challenge to scientists worldwide who dedicate their time to ecosystem conservation. Now, environmental scientists are harnessing the amazing olfactory abilities of working dogs to meet this challenge head-on. Ecologist Alison Pearce Stevens' engaging and accessible narrative writing showcases three ongoing conservation projects that use working dogs to tackle serious invaders in the U.S. and Canada. Readers will learn more about the threats posed by these species, and about the way scientists and handlers work with dogs to locate and eliminate them. The book features extensive full-color photographs of detective dogs in action, taken onsite by the author as she accompanied conservation groups out into the field in Manitoba, Wyoming, and the Hudson Valley. Informative backmatter includes an index and bibliography. Named to the NSTA-CBC Best STEM Books List! A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Inertia
In the Inertia leveled reader, fundamental scientific concepts in physics are explained through easily understood text and colorful illustrations and photographs. Young readers learn that physics explains that force is any action that changes the location of an object, the shape of an object, or how fast or how slowly an object is moving. The Greek philosopher Aristotle thought force is what makes things move. However, the Italian scientist Galileo found that Aristotle was wrong and it is actually inertia that keep things moving, while forces make things stop or change direction. When an object resists a change in motion, it has inertia. Inertia keeps objects that are in motion moving and objects that are not moving at rest.A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5. Lexile measure 490L. Word count 221.
A Look at Rotational Motion
In A Look at Rotational Motion, fundamental scientific concepts in physics are explained through easily understood text and colorful illustrations and photographs. Young readers learn that any object that is moving in a straight line has linear motion. A bicycle moving in a straight line has linear motion, but because bicycle wheels are round and move in a circle, the wheels also use nonlinear, or rotational, motion. The word rotate means to turn around a center point. Rotational motion is a type of movement where an object turns around a center point. Rotational motion can be demonstrated by placing a dot on the side of a bike wheel, turning the wheel, and watching how the dot moves. Other examples of objects using rotational motion are illustrated: a spinning top, a rolling ball, windmill blades, and airplane propellers.A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5. Lexile measure 480L. Word count 188.
