Energy Lab for Kids offers 40discovery-filled and thought-provoking energy projects by Emily Hawbaker, a science educator from the NEED (National Energy Education Development) projectwith a foreword by Liz Lee Heinecke, author of Kitchen Science Lab for Kids. Using supplies that you can find around the house or in the grocery store, these exciting projects let you observe, explore, discover, and get energized! We hear about energy on the news, we use it every day, and sometimes were told we have too much of it. But whatisenergypotential, kinetic, chemical, radiant, and thermal? The lab activities in this book will let you explore almost everything about energywhat it is, how we find it, how we use it, and how we can save it. Uniting this collection of science experiments for the kitchen, backyard, or classroom is the goal to explore and discover real energy solutions.The chapters cross all categoriesfrom steam, electricity, and chemical reactions, to water, solar, and wind powerallowing kids to compare and testthe different sources and to discover their strengths and failings. Why is one source of energy is more efficient for a one situation but not for another? Why might two energy sources combined work better than a single source? Which sources are renewable? Projects are geared to understanding actual issues in the news today. With an emphasis oninventive exploration, youll discover that creativity leads to breakthroughs. Learn about:chemical, radiant, and thermal energy by activating a glow stick and watching it get brighter in hot water.viscosity by sucking soda and chocolate syrup up anoilpipeline made from straws.solar energy by melting smores in a pizza box solar oven.wind power by lifting paperclips with a wind turbine made from a cup, paper, tape, and straw.calories by burning cheese puffs (and other food) in a homemade calorimeter.The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even how to create your own circusall authored by established experts in their fields. Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. Gain firsthand knowledge on your favorite topic with Lab for Kids.
