CBC Showcase: Math and Science in Fact and Fiction

Join Riley in Southeast Alaska during the yearly salmon migration to determine what has contributed to the recent success of the once-endangered Pacific Salmon!

Adventures of Riley: Survival of the Salmon

by Amanda Lumry & Laura Hurwitz

North Atlantic Salmon have become endangered. Riley travels to Southeast Alaska to determine what has contributed to the recent success of the once-endangered Pacific Salmon.  He hopes to apply this knowledge of Pacific Salmon life cycles to benefit North Atlantic Salmon recovery efforts. Observations, scientific samples and discussions with animal expert Jack Hanna unlock the key to the Pacific Salmon s resurgence.  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.
