just okay submitted by camelsamba on July 8, 2011, 9:56pm I read this to see if it might be a good resource for a curriculum project I was working on. I have mixed feelings about it. I feel that it glosses over a few things and could lead to alternative conceptions - for example, carnivores are always big animals (and vice versa). And in the early sections, it seemed to be saying that a consumer gets all the energy from what it eats, thus glossing over energy pyramids. But it does have an entire section on energy pyramids, with a reasonable analogy, so maybe that won't be problematic. Overall assessment? It might be okay as one of many resources in a classroom, especially since Max Axiom is an African-American scientist, but it shouldn't be the primary resource for this topic.
