Giving Back to the Earth: A Teacher's Guide to Project Puffin and Other Seabird Studies Around the World

Rating:
Summary: A great teaching resource for school or home
Review: I had the immense pleasure of meeting both Pete Salmansohn and Steven Cress this summer at the Audubon camp on Hog Island, Maine. They are both dedicated naturalists and educators. They realize the future of the birds, and nature in general, lies with the youth of today. Although this book is geared towards grades 3 - 6, I teach honors zoology to juniors and seniors in high school. I find the activities are highly adaptable. I learned so much myself just by reading the teacher's background information. I highly recommend this book and the companion book "Project Puffin: How We Brought Puffins Back to Egg Rock" byt the same authors. And, if you are lucky enough, get the video "Fish out of Water" which shows the actual Puffin restoration process.
