News of
environmental problems threatening life on Earth seems to be
everywhere. All of this information can be frightening and
confusing, especially to a child. This science kit gives you the
tools and information to learn firsthand about the environmental
problems burdening our planet and how we as a civilization can
overcome these problems through sustainable practices and the
sensible use of technology.
The kit is organized into five main sections: renewable energies,
natural resource usage, climate change prevention, waste and water
management, and energy conservation. Exploring these topics by doing
hands-on experiments and seeing real results helps young scientists
attain a solid grounding in these often abstract and intangible
concepts.
Construct a miniature water treatment plant and learn how substances
in unnatural concentrations can pollute habitats and harm life.
Manufacture recycled paper and plastic. Get an understanding of the
rapid growth in world population. Explore the causes and
consequences of the greenhouse effect with carbon dioxide tests.
Experiment with heat transfer and insulation. Build devices to
explore wind power, water power, and passive and active solar power
technology. Become an “energy detective” and track down wasteful
uses of energy at school and in your home.
The full-color, 48-page manual guides your experiments and energy
conservation activities. Ages 10 and up. |
