I took a few notes (which I'll get to), but I didn't like the book quite as much as he did, in part because I was already well-familiar with dendrochronology. And the ebook I read didn't have some of the illustrations he mentions (plus some wonky formatting). You might do better with a paper copy. These books can help cover standards of the curriculum. Hopefully, they can even inspire your students to write their own stories. Boeiende materie: jaarringen en wat daar allemaal uit afgeleid kan worden, maar vooral ook: hoe divers dat is en dat jaarringonderzoek in combinatie met andere wetenschappelijke disciplines zo veel verheldering kan scheppen als het gaat om het bestuderen en voorspellen van klimaatvariaties, en hoe die in het verleden duidelijk samenhingen met ingrijpende gebeurtenissen in de menselijke geschiedenis.

Our Read with Oxford range of levelled readers help children develop reading confidence at home: Read with Oxford books > The 13-Storey Treehouse is a 2011 book [1] written by author Andy Griffiths and illustrated by Terry Denton, [2] and a stage play based on the book. [3] The story follows Andy and Terry, who are living in a 13-storey treehouse, struggling to finish their book on time among many distractions and their friend Jill, who lives in a house full of animals and often visits them. According to the book, the 13-storey treehouse has "a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, a tank full of man-eating sharks, a secret underground laboratory, a vegetable vaporizer and a marshmallow machine that shoots marshmallows into your mouths when it sees that you are hungry". Look at the title and particularly the subtitle. The subtitle tells you exactly what the book is about!

In Letters and Sounds, there are ‘sets’ within the Phases – so your child might not know all the sounds in every book within their Phase. Eerst legt Valerie Trouet haarfijn en heel helder uit hoe ze zelf in de dendrochronologie gerold is. Na haar studie bio-ingenieur in Gent was het een kwestie van kansen zien en ze dankbaar grijpen, van opportuniteiten die zich op het juiste moment aandienen en ook heel hard werken. There are four steps involved to get a class discussion going about the series. They should come to the discussion prepared with all necessary materials, then you need to establish rules to drive the discussion. Everyone needs to respond to questions, and then you can draw conclusions from the book. But I learned a lot of stuff. Trouet writes well and doesn't take herself too seriously. This is my favorite kind of popular science book: a working scientist describing her specialty, and doing a first-rate job of it. She was aiming the book at non-specialists and succeeded. The descriptions of her fieldwork were one of the real highlights. Highly recommended.

Dendrochronologie is een fantastisch onderwerp en vakgebied en dit boek komt met mooie voorbeelden. Toch ben ik kritisch. Ik heb de Nederlandse vertaling gelezen en dat was toch wel een beetje pijnlijk. De vertaling was namelijk ronduit slecht en op iedere pagina zijn minstens vier anglicismes te vinden. Daarnaast was er geen, of te weinig, moeite gedaan om de zinsopbouw aan te passen naar het Nederlands. Ook de schrijfstijl kon ik niet waarderen, maar dat is een kwestie van smaak. When a tree grows, it puts on a ring. A tree ring that is. Using these tree rings allows scientists (dendrochronologists) to provide historically-accurate dates for everything ranging from Stradivarius violins to archeological ruins by dating the wood used in construction. Dendrochronologists have created a worldwide database which allows them to immediately identify the date which the tree was cut. Andy wakes up one morning, and on his way to getting breakfast, he meets Terry, painting a white cat yellow to turn it into a canary, or a "catnary". After being dropped from the treehouse, the cat grows wings and flies away. Andy and Terry are then greeted by their animal-loving friend Jill, who wants to find her pet cat, Silky. It turns out that the cat Terry painted was that exact cat. Andy and Terry try to remain innocent when Jill questions them. Right after Jill leaves, Andy and Terry receive a call via a 3D video phone by their publisher, Mr Big Nose, who is upset that the duo is behind schedule. The book begins with the narrator and fictional depiction of the author, Andy Griffiths, giving an introduction to himself, his friend and illustrator Terry Denton, and their treehouse.Tate Britain’s winter retrospective demonstrated Paul Nash’s extraordinary and enduring feeling for trees. His autobiography, Outline, works as a companion to his painting career, linking the beech tree in his special childhood place in Kensington Gardens to the mysterious group of beeches silhouetted on the hill at Wittenham Clumps, and then to the devastated, topless trunks in the first world war battlefields of northern France.
