Aquatic Earth is a state of the art, elementary science book based on the freshwater biome. Developed in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin's Department of Freshwater Studies and a team of educators, Aquatic Earth includes both interactive enhancements and universal design accessibility features.
Aquatic Earth is part of our Crack the Books series of interactive non-fiction books. Crack the Books are the first digital books that can be ADJUSTED FOR READING LEVEL without sacrificing content. Aquatic Earth allows for reading level adjustment from 1st grade to 8th grade, making it possible for all kids to access the same content regardless of their reading ability.
Designed with the goal of improving reading comprehension, fostering a love of learning, and building reading confidence, Aquatic Earth gives educators a powerful new teaching tool to help all kids, from children with special needs to those who are academically gifted.
Aquatic Earth covers all major freshwater ecosystems including lakes, rivers and streams, range and climate of freshwater biomes, plant and animal wildlife, adaptations, threats and freshwater sustainability.
Designed to foster comprehension and student engagement, Crack the Books textbooks feature hundreds of supportive audio and visual elements including beautiful high definition photographs, integrated video footage, fun facts, custom animations, custom images, and interactive charts, tables and globes. There are comprehension supports built into the text, with pop up definitions for associated new vocabulary. Students may further interact with the content by creating bookmarks, highlights and study notes.
