The Science of Surfing: a Surfside Girls Guide to the Ocean
The Science of Surfing: a Surfside Girls Guide to the Ocean | Kim Dwinell
2 posts | 1 read
The ocean is packed with plants, animals, water... and science! Ride the waves of knowledge with Sam and Jade as they explain all about the amazing wonders of the sea, and have a blast doing it. Have you ever wondered why the ocean has waves? Why do the tides change with the moon? Can dolphins really "see" using sound? How does surfing actually work? And what can we do to protect the ocean? Cresting from the pages of the beloved graphic novel series Surfside Girls, join best friends Sam & Jade -- and Sam's little brother Peet -- as they explore the AWESOME world of ocean science. From physics to marine biology to ecology to surfing lessons, there's so much to learn... with plenty of fun and jokes along the way! The Science of Surfing is the coolest way to take a beach vacation and learn at the same time.

This was too much fun and must be such an absolute delight for kids who like this series! I just picked this up on a whim and it has some great science info that‘s highly digestible for the target age group. I even learned a few things! The art is beautiful, and I loved that the section about good stewardship extended to things everyone can do even if you don‘t live near the ocean. #Comic #NonfictionComic #ScienceForKids

I love picking up middle grade comics (especially nonfiction) on a whim. I‘m usually not disappointed. Today I learned that the part of bird legs that bends backwards isn‘t a knee, it‘s their heel. That whole section is part of their foot structure! I‘m not sure if I missed this in school or if it‘s just one of those details you have to find out later. #Science #NonfictionComic

Soubhiville I just explained the anatomy of a dog‘s rear leg to a client, and then had to have the same conversation with a few of my employees who didn‘t know. A dog‘s rear leg is similar- they essentially walk on tip-toes, and the ankle joint is in a similar place to this bird skeleton. 🙂 Science is pretty cool! 2y
IndoorDame How cool! I had no idea 2y
Kenyazero @Soubhiville oh! Yeah, I didn‘t think about that! I think I‘ve always thought of that area as part of a dog‘s foot structure because of the extra little paw pad that‘s there. Science is so interesting! 2y
UwannaPublishme Wow! I learned something new today too. 2y
