Going green is a hot topic...and a hot science fair project. Author and scientist Elizabeth Snoke Harris knows what impresses, and she provides plenty of winning ideas, along with step-by-step guidance to insure that the end result is a success. Show how to harness energy with windmills, make a biogas generator, and create alternative fuels. 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. The importance of what children learn will go even beyond the science fair: they’ll have the knowledge to understand what’s happening to Planet Earth...and the desire to do something eco-friendly every day.

Offers detailed instructions for short experiments concerning earth sciences.

Offers earth science experiments and science fair activities at the middle school and high school level.

With readily available and inexpensive supplies, explore the forces that affect the earth. Discover how earthquakes, light energy, erosion, and other factors change the face of the planet. Study the ways plants grow and why they are important to Our lives, and uncover the properties of soil, sand, humus, and mud. Gain an understanding of gravity and magnetism and the earth's place in the solar system. Learn about natural resources, recycling, and composting, and much more.

Explains how to use the scientific method to conduct several science experiments about geology. Includes ideas for science fair projects.

Help students explore the wonders of science with the mind-stretching activities in this packet. It includes a number of special features and fun, easy-to-prepare activities that cover topics in earth science. Clear, step-by-step instructions foster independent learning; guided questions help develop observation and critical thinking skills; fascinating facts and extension activities enrich learning.

If your child is struggling with science, then this book is for you; the short book covers the topic and also contains 5 science experiments to work with, and ten quiz questions. This subject comes from the book “First Grade Science (For Home School or Extra Practice)”; it more thoroughly covers more fourth grade topics to help your child get a better understanding of first grade math. If you purchased that book, or plan to purchase that book, do not purchase this, as the problems are the same.

Most students hear about global warming, climate change, natural disasters, and other events without even realizing that they are also learning a bit about Earth science. Earth Science Experiments will introduce students to various subjects within the discipline of Earth science so that they can explore Earth from their home or school laboratory and develop an interest in a future career in a related field. Through these easy-to-duplicate experiments, young scientists will re-create poor weather conditions, simulate an earthquake, model photochemical smog, go mining for chocolate chips, make lightning, and stare up at the night sky.

Engaging experiments using simple toys and everyday stuff teach curious young minds all about Earth Science and weather. Readers can take an up-close look at how tornadoes develop, why wind is sometimes cold, how the water cycle works, and so much more. With low-level text and step-by-step photos, connecting young readers with science concepts has never been simpler!

In this series of fun and involving hands-on earth science experiments, students will learn how atoms and molecules arrange themselves in minerals, how global warming could raise sea levels, and even how rocks melt. They will also create their own instrument to measure humidity, grow crystals, and demonstrate how soil texture affects the amount of air in soil. From lake bottoms to icebergs to hurricanes, readers will engage with this fun installment of twenty-four Janice VanCleave experiments that features color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions.
