On a sunny day in 1980, a volcano erupted in Washington State. When the volcano cooled and the clouds of ash cleared, the forests had disappeared! But today the area is green again. How did life return? Solve the mystery. Do some plants need more light than others? What do animals have to do with plant growth? Explain how plants bounced back after one of the biggest eruptions in US history.

In the Spotlight: How do herons get food? How can tadpoles and frogs meet their needs? Create a bullfrog life cycle model and act like bees cooling a hive. Explore the amazing animals of Big Thicket. Along the way, ask yourself, How does my new knowledge help me understand the world?
