CBC Showcase: Math and Science in Fact and Fiction
Join Riley as he travels to the island of Moorea, where he learns about human/animal interaction as he studies spinner dolphins to ensure their welfare!
by Amanda Lumry & Laura Hurwitz
Riley travels to the island of Moorea to study spinner dolphins. As dolphins continually come in contact with humans, only knowledge of dolphin behavior can lead to solutions for protecting the species. Observations in the field, discussions with a dolphin expert, and a true-to-science dolphin rescue reveal how human intervention in nature, when based on science, can yield positive results. With a fun storyline, facts from real scientists and math and science applications, this story is great for classroom use. An educator s guide (ISBN: 978-1-60040-006-3) will be published in winter 2007 to provide additional classroom activities that supplement this book.
