Save The Earth Science Experiments

Going green is a hot topic...and a hot science fair project. Author and scientist Elizabeth Snoke Harris knows what impresses, and she provides plenty of winning ideas, along with step-by-step guidance to insure that the end result is a success. Show how to harness energy with windmills, make a biogas generator, and create alternative fuels. Demonstrate green power with recycled paper, solar building, and compact fluorescent light bulbs. Test the ozone, be a "garbage detective,” and discuss how to reverse global warming. The importance of what children learn will go even beyond the science fair: they’ll have the knowledge to understand what’s happening to Planet Earth...and the desire to do something eco-friendly every day.

Tsunamis, hurricanes, global warming: more than ever, children want to investigate the forces that affect Earth--and learn how to protect our planet. And this engrossing collection offers a world of information and exciting activities. Through experimentation, young scientists will really understand how plants give off oxygen and why life couldn’t exist without them. They’ll build a seismograph; filter water; and find out how mountains are formed with the help of some clay and newspaper. Plus, they’ll discover earth-friendly ways to save and reuse old clothes, toys, and other household materials.
