Creative ideas with easy-to-follow instructions show kids how to make their
own paper, compare phosphate levels in detergents, test the effects of oil
pollution, conduct a recycling survey, create a trash sculpture, redesign a
package, chart a flush, measure acidity and make a difference in many other
exciting ways.
Linda Schwarz, along with her illustrator Beverly Armstrong, has written an
activity book for children on how to care for the earth. In simple format,
she defines the basic terms and ideas used in environmental study. She then
offers a number of activities for understanding these concepts. For example,
she describes acid rain, then gives instructions for a project to measure
the amount of acid in your own rainfall. This is a useful idea book for
children's rainy day or school projects from about third grade on.
It is a wonderful book for teachers to have for elementary age children when
having a unit on Earth Day or celebrating Earth Day. Mainly it allows many
different ways that children can help save the Earth. There are several
sections of the book: Energy, resources, and recycling; Air, Land, & Water;
Plant & Animal Habitat; and More Ways to Make Every Day Earth Day. Each of
these sections provides simple facts and information while providing ways
for children to help out or be actively involved in each particular topic.
At the end of the book, there is a section called Where to Write & Glossary
which provides a page on how to request for information and also provides
many different resources/organizations that children can write to to obtain
more information.
