The story of a family of three who are shipwrecked during a trip and must survive on a deserted island. Rather than simply detailing survival methods, the book uses this scenario to teach a variety of useful science facts. Each chapter combines a comic depicting a different situation with a related science tip. Kids can easily learn practical knowledge not taught in textbooks, such as how to find water, determine direction, obtain salt, and predict the weather. 1. Insect Collecting Trip 2. Shipwreck 3.
