Riassunto

An introduction to rivers as a source of life for people, plants and animals which introduces the water cycle; the importance of rain to the life cycle of plants; the use of rivers through their resources (fish and gold); and as transport routes. The book also investigates the environmental threats from mining and gives step-by-step illustrations and instructions to show how to make a miniature canoe. Each title in this series can be used to teach a number of topics across the geography and science curriculum. A topic web and extension section at the back of the book suggests other areas of the curriculum that could be introduced. The activity at the end of each title introduces design and technology skills and engages children directly in the book.
