Chemosynthesis, thriving life without the sun. by theresa springer (Colordo)  4 Stars
August 07, 2001
This book is fascinating. The information is new and exciting. Thriving life with out photosynthesis. I think this book would be fun to use as a classroom project. The book is broken into five chapters. Each chapter assigned as a report to be orally presented would met the guidelines for Standard 2 of the Colorado state reading standards. Because this information is continually being updated, the use of electronic media would enhance this greatly. This is also a great one for meeting science standard 3.1.4 as well as a great underwater geography lesson. The book is a bit much for a third or forth grader to tackle all alone, because of the technical words necessary to tell about the exciting new life living around deep-sea vents and how they were formed. Yet worth the effort. There is a helpful glossary in the back of the book. Good luck learning about chemosynthesis.
