�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

"Catch the Wind, Harness the Sun" offers 22 exciting projects and experiments focused on producing and playing with renewable energy. Children ages 8 to 12 will extend and deepen their knowledge of environmental science. Projects range from the quick and simple - like the Pie Plate Wind Maker - to the thrillingly large-scale, like Pedal Power, in which kids use a bicycle to power a 12-volt battery. Exciting illustrations and fun-fact sidebars will entertain and spark further curiosity, and children will love to read the inspiring stories of real kids who are leading the way with real renewable energy initiatives.

Cr�ticas

"Encourages a sense of both wonder and power in young global citizens." The promised activities are only part of what this title has to offer. The serious topics of global warming and energy production, use, and conservation are combined with a self-empowerment, can-do message. The inclusion of stories, humor, full-color photos, and cartoon illustrations and diagrams keep the presentation lighthearted. Each chapter begins with background information followed by the projects that range from the intensive bicycle-powered generator to a simpler energy-conservation board game. Several activities, such as the "Personal Solar Power" kit, require a considerable number of specialized supplies, tools, and adult help, while others, like the "Party-Balloon Wind Gauge," do not. Each activity concludes with a series of extension ideas that encourage scientific and creative thinking. Young people or "Green Giants" who have made significant differences to the environment are highlighted. Clear photos and step-by-step instructions modeled by real students accompany the activities. Extensive back matter includes sources for supplies, lists of environmental organizations, and a list of endangered animals by continent. With its solid science and inspirational stories and quotes, this is a great guide for classrooms, youth groups, and motivated individuals.-Carol S. Surges, McKinley Elementary School, Wauwatosa, WI (Starred review, July 2011) --New York Journal of Books
