Description
This little 48-page resource is a great accompaniment with a concise explanation for the Taxonomy of Living Things Journal. Use this along with your curriculum or as an introduction to life science. This book explains the differences in living and nonliving things, what living things need to survive, where the idea of taxonomy originated, and a look inside some of the different kingdoms. Within each chapter you'll find full-color photos and a pronunciation key (where necessary). A two-page glossary offers definitions of new vocabulary. ~ Donna
