Book Description


 

Kids ages 8—12 will love these 22 exciting activities and experiments focused on producing and playing with renewable energy. 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. Each activity teaches children about renewable energy and larger environmental issues. Education doesn’t get more fun than this! Catch the Wind, Harness the Sun offers more than enough to get any kid charged up about renewable energy.

Book Review


 

Are you looking for ways to teach your child about environmental issues?  Are you hoping to show your child how to create a greener future?  Is your child just generally interested in science and experiments?  If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you need to get this book.

First off, the author explains the impact that the current sources of energy are having on the planet.  He does it in fun and easy to understand ways.

He then gives you all different types of experiments and projects for you and your child to do.  Each project/experiment directly relates to the information the author just presented.

A perfect example would be how the author illustrates the use of coal and how it is transformed into energy to light your house.  The author then suggests to try living electricity free for one day to demonstrate our need and reliance on electricity.  He offers different suggestions on what you can do.  He also mentions food for the day and other necessities.  Doing this will actually show your kids the impact they are having on the earth by just the simple things they can take for granted.  It will help spur a lively discussion on what you can do to help lessen your impact on our planet.

There are many other experiments & projects throughout the book.  Plus there are articles on other kids who are doing projects on community level in hopes of helping the planet.

In conjunction with the Wakela's World Disclosure Statement, I received a product in order to enable my review. No other compensation has been received. My statements are an honest account of my experience with the brand. The opinions stated here are mine alone.

Arnicare–Review & Giveaway

Image
  Product Review   Because of various health issues, I am always on the lookout for over the counter pain relief.  I HATE take pills.  So I tend to look for something topical.  I don’t want to be like my mom and smell horribly of some of the other formulas that are on the market. So that limits me greatly on what I can use.  I was just recently sent a 2.6 ounce tube of Arnicare.  It is all natural pain relief that comes in a gel.  They also have creams and pills as well. First off, I liked that it has a very pleasant mild scent.  So its definitely something that I am not embarrassed putting on and going out somewhere. Plus, it helped stop the pain rather quickly.  I was completely blown away with how fast my legs stopped hurting.  It’s a very rare day that I go without pain.  It was so nice to be able to find something that actually takes the pain away.  And not only did it take the pain away, it also relieve...

Review–Mana Potion

Product Description   Mana Energy Potion Each tiny shot is loaded with 160mg of caffeine and tons of other energy boosters. As much caffeine as two cans of Red Bull® Provides 5-8 hours of smooth energy. No sugar, so no aftercrash. Each six pack contains 6 (duh) 1.69oz bottles   Product Review   The bottles are really cute and I love the labels.  I was a little disappointed though that the Mana Energy Drink logo was printed on the plastic wrapper instead of the bottle.  However, I love the shapes of the bottles. So here I was in the middle of a raid that seemed to be lasting longer then it should have.  We had already wiped a few times and decided to try again.  I was running out of energy though.  So instead of yelling OOM in the raid chat, I decided to take a Mana Potion.  There is no sugar whatsoever in this drink.  It contains tons of vitamins to help get you going.  And of course the all s...
