See how carbon dioxide traps heat like Eunice Newton Foote! Test the water clarity from local ponds, lakes, or steams like Rachel Carson! Aspiring young ecologists will discover an amazing group of role models and memorable experiments in the fifth book in The Kitchen Pantry Scientist series.
This engaging guide offers a series of snapshots of 25 scientists — half of them women — famous for their work with ecology. Each lab tells the story of a scientist along with some background about the importance of their work, and a description of where it is still being used or reflected in today’s world. Then, a step-by-step illustrated experiment paired with each story offers kids a hands-on opportunity for exploring concepts the scientists pursued, or are working on today. With simple projects made up of items found in most homes or easily ordered online, this a terrific way for kids to explore the science of organisms and how they interconnect.
