Here’s a fun tool to teach your kids to preserve our planet. National Geographic makes science experiments for kids sustainable with the Thames & Kosmos Alternative Energy and Environmental Science Kit. This science kit includes tools to learn hands-on about the environmental problems threatening our planet and how we can solve these problems through sustainable practices and use of technology. The kit is organized into five main sections: renewable energies, natural resource usage, climate change prevention, waste and water management, and energy conservation.

With the kit, your young scientists can construct a miniature water treatment plant, manufacture recycled paper and plastic, learn about rapid growth in world population, explore the causes and consequences of the greenhouse effect with carbon dioxide tests, and more.

Your purchases go towards more than teaching the future; National Geographic’s net proceeds support vital exploration, conservation, research and education programs. For ages 8 and up.
