Explore how these moving mountains of ice changed almost everything on Earth, including shorelines, weather, plants, animal and human activities, migration, and more. In Explore the Ice Age! with 25 Projects, readers ages 7-10 discover what an ice age consists of, why we have them, and what effect an ice age has on living organisms and ecosystems, paying particular attention to the most recent ice age, which is the only one humans were around to witness"--Back cover.

Review by Booklist Review

This appealing series title explores the most recent Ice Age, beginning with where the ice came from and continuing to the end of the Ice Age. It explains how humans, animals, and plants that lived near the glaciers were affected, and relates the role scientists have played in studying the Ice Age and the fossils and art discovered from the time. Chapter questions help guide the reader's exploration of the topic. The text contains word definitions, keyword prompts, QR codes, age-appropriate jokes, and cute cartoon illustrations of a mammoth and armored glyptodont. The 25 STEM projects throughout the book allow readers to practice their observation and reasoning skills. One project, which involves making a science journal, provides the basis for the other low-cost projects that follow. Particularly fun are the factual errors revealed in the movie Ice Age. Included are a time line, glossary, resources, essential questions, and examples of Ice Age sites around the U.S. Great for browsing, but even better for STEM programming in classroom, library, and after-school settings.--Rawlins, Sharon Copyright 2017 Booklist
