Tree of Life: The Incredible Biodiversity of Life on Earth
Readers are invited to climb the Tree of Life to gain a better understanding of the diversity of living things in our world. At the beginning of the book, a double-page spread depicts a tree with five branches, each representing one of the five main kingdoms: plants, animals, protista, fungi and monera.
As readers progress through the book and explore the analogy to the Tree of Life, a proportionate section of the tree is shaded yellow to represent the place of each kingdom or branch within the world of living things. Once the author reaches the animal kingdom, further classification indicates the place of invertebrates and vertebrates. From there, branches on the tree represent fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. Ultimately, one small yellow leaf indicates human's place on the tree. This analogy causes readers to reflect on the variety of life on Earth and on the impact humans have on all living species.

After Life: The Strange Cycle of Decay
This video explains decomposition, one of nature's most important processes. For two months in the summer of 2011, a glass box containing food laid out from a typical kitchen and garden for a family of four was left to rot in full public view within Edinburgh Zoo. In this resulting documentary, presenter Dr. George McGavin and his team use time-lapse cameras and 3-D photography to capture the way in which moulds, microbes and insects are able to break down our everyday things and allow new life to emerge from old. The film reveals the incredible science of taphonomy, discovering what happens to organic matter as it starts to decompose. Whole new ecosystems of life invade, each more complex than you would ever expect. The micro-organisms involved in turning milk sour, lactobacillus, are highlighted; in addition to pseudomonas, micro-organisms that make meat smell; and botrytis cinerea, those that make fruit and vegetables go velvety grey.
Microbiology gives us insight into the part played by bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Biochemistry reveals how the chemical processes in living organisms cause change. Entymology reveals the vital role of insects in the great cycle of decay. The video also explores the incredible science behind preservation, from new food packaging and chemical additives to UV radiation and osmotic pressures.

Science for English Language Learners is designed to assist teachers to implement inquiry-based science while increasing learning opportunities for English Language Learners (ELL). The book provides strategies for planning, teaching, assessing and extending learning. While the book is specifically designed for ELL students, many of the strategies can benefit all students in the classroom. Included in the book are lesson plans which include standards and objectives, background, materials, activities and a summary. Depending upon the grade level, charts and diagrams are also included in the lesson plan. The lesson plans provided will need to be adapted to address the Saskatchewan science curriculum outcomes.
The authors also provide educators with a sense of how it will look when strategies are incorporated for teaching English Language Learners in the classroom. If an educator is unfamiliar with English Language Learners, this book provides strategies for working with ELL students, how a second language is learned and connecting with families. Strategies to incorporate into daily teaching are discussed and while this is a science-related book, these strategies could be implemented in any area of teaching.
