Taking you on an eco-adventure, this book uses fun toy models and beautiful illustrations to explore ecosystem balancing and tipping. This is important because our ecosystem is at the brink of tipping into a sixth mass extinction, and because modeling is a fundamental scientific skill often neglected in schools. Readers will learn how to model change while also learning about actions we can take to preserve the health of our ecosystem. The book gives you access to online toy models that give further depth to the learning experience and enjoyment. The adventure continues with our other fun computer models, books and board game (Tip: A Barely Balanced Ecosystem Game): http://www.flockecogames.com
