Foundations of Science: Ecosystems & Species — The Web of Nature (Complete Set)
By Dr. Timothy Polnaszek · Published by TAN Books
Overview
Every living thing exists within a remarkable network of relationships, dependencies, and interactions that reveal the wisdom of God's design. Foundations of Science: Ecosystems & Species — The Web of Nature introduces children to the fascinating science of ecology, helping them discover how plants, animals, and entire environments work together to sustain life across the globe.
Part of the acclaimed Foundations of Science series, this volume explores ecosystems, habitats, populations, communities, food webs, adaptation, and biodiversity. Students learn how species survive in challenging environments, how organisms depend upon one another, and how delicate ecological balances are maintained throughout creation. From frozen forests and tropical ecosystems to deserts and grasslands, children gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and beauty of the natural world.
Alongside scientific discovery, students encounter inspiring Catholic connections that illuminate the deeper meaning of creation. They will learn about St. Anthony of Egypt and the Desert Fathers, discover the groundbreaking work of Gregor Johann Mendel—the Augustinian friar known as the father of modern genetics—and reflect on the observations of St. Augustine regarding the natural world. Through these lessons, children come to appreciate both the scientific and spiritual order woven throughout God's creation.
