Sustainable Earth Lab Science Kit

Description

The Sustainable Earth Lab Science Kit from Thames & Kosmos gives kids the tools and information to learn firsthand about environmental problems burdening our planet and how sustainable practices and the sensible use of technology might overcome these issues. The Sustainable Earth Lab Science Kit is organized into five main sections: renewable energy, natural resource use, climate change prevention, waste 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! With the Sustainable Earth Lab Science Kit, kids construct a miniature water treatment plant and learn how substances in unnatural concentrations can pollute habitats and harm life; manufacture recycled paper and plastic; understand 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 and track down wasteful uses of energy at school and in your home. The Sustainable Earth Lab Science Kit includes a 48-page color manual, solar cell, water filter column and much more (see full contents below). Additional items needed include common food ingredients, office supplies, kitchen tools and utensils. Box measures approximately 13.75”L x 11.5”W x 2.5”D.
