STEAM problem-solvers and twin mice Sydney and Simon learn about the
dangers of pollution--and the power of recycling--in this illustrated
chapter book for young readers
Last we saw them, Sydney & Simon used science, technology, engineering,
arts, and math skills to save wilting flowers in their window box. Now
the twin mice are back to apply STEAM thinking to recycling!
During a class field trip to the Aquarium, Sydney is upset when she
realizes that a green sea turtle has been harmed by garbage that made
its way to the ocean. She must convince Simon that even if others don't
intend to litter, the garbage everyone puts in a trashcan may
accidentally get swept into sewers, streams, rivers, and possibly end up
in the ocean.
The twins collects data on the trash habits of their household and
school and find they are all part of the problem! They need to figure
out a way that their family, their neighborhood, and their school can
cut down on garbage production and make better use of their discarded
items.
Short chapters paired with Peter H. Reynolds's lively illustrations will
inspire readers to take a closer look at their recycling habits and
implement small changes to make a big difference.
