The 638016 Sustainable Earth Lab by Thames and Kosmos gives you
the tools and informationto 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.
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 informationto 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 handson 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 isolation.
Build devices to explore wind power water power and passive
and active solar power technology.

energy at school and in your home.
The fullcolor 48page manual guides your experiments and
energy conservation activities.
