Save the Earth Science Experiments Book (Hardcover)
Green experiments for science fair projects. Author and scientist Elizabeth Snoke Harris knows what impresses, and she provides plenty of winning ideas. Show how to harness energy with windmills, make a biogas generator, and create alternative fuels. The science projects 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. From the Discovery Kids Store.
Uncle Milton Aquasaurs
Hatch and raise real prehistoric creatures! Aquasaurs (Triops Longicaudatus) have existed for more than 350 million years. They are fresh water animals that belong to the class crustacea, and are related to shrimp, crabs and lobsters. Sometimes they're referred to as tadpole shrimp because of their similarity to frog tadpoles. Aquasaurs also resemble trilobites--extinct creatures that lived more than 500 million years ago.
