Grades 4-8
Lots of kids have heard the story: 29,000 rubber bathtub toys fell from a cargo ship in the Pacific Ocean and floated, quite literally, around the world. What they may not know is that this fleet of rubber duckies has become the basis of an international scientific research program aimed at better understanding our world ocean. Drawing on the content of her first book, Tracking Trash, Loree tells students a fascinating story of drama, intrigue, science and geography.

Loree Burns,
My available books are for an upper elementary and middle school audience, and so most of my presentations are geared toward students in grades four through nine. That said, the topics I explore in my books are of interest to younger students too, so I offer shorter, age-appropriate presentations for students in kindergarten through grade three.
