About The 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 ecosystem, build an insect habitat, and much more.

How do you think like a scientist? Scientists keep asking questions to try to solve problems. The activities in this book explore how science can help make a healthy and happy planet Earth.

30 EXPERIMENTS: Can you move things with a magnet? Can you cook with the power of the sun? Explore these amazing experiments and dozens more.

TIPS AND TEMPLATES: Easy experiments to do at home using the pages of the book itself and things you can find around your house.

FOR SCIENTISTS OF ALL AGES: Children 6+ can experiment by themselves or with the help of an adult following the brightly illustrated steps on each page.

SUPPORTS STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math): Learn important scientific principles while building and creating.
