About This Book

A one-of-a-kind project book that educates readers 6+ on saving the planet with 30 hands-on, eco-friendly science experiments. Most books are just meant to be read. But this is no ordinary book. Each page turns into an experiment that explores ways you can help protect planet Earth by thinking like a scientist. Create a bee that shows how flowers are pollinated, investigate how to blast a rocket into space, make a star projector to test light pollution, create a perfectly balanced rainforest eco

Our Review

This interactive science book transforms young readers into environmental scientists through 30 hands-on experiments that tackle real-world ecological challenges. Kids will build working models that demonstrate flower pollination, construct star projectors to understand light pollution, and create balanced rainforest ecosystems while learning core environmental science principles. Each project serves as both an engaging activity and a practical lesson in sustainability, making complex concepts like biodiversity and pollution tangible through direct experimentation.

What sets this apart from typical science experiment books is how seamlessly it blends environmental education with actionable projects that children can immediately implement. Budding ecologists will appreciate the rocket investigation that explores space exploration's environmental impact, while parents will value how each activity reinforces scientific thinking and ecological responsibility. The book successfully empowers children to see themselves as problem-solvers for our planet's future, turning abstract environmental concerns into solvable puzzles through the power of hands-on science.
