978-1-64160-549-6 (ISBN)
Junk Drawer Ecology is a hands-on guide to saving the planet. Fun, free science activities help kids of all ages learn about the science of our planet’s ecology. The environment is changing every day, and we can help slow that change. Using free or low-cost things children already have around their homes, these activities are perfect to stimulate young brains.
Readers will learn about the importance of the polar regions without leaving their communities, about new ways to cut our dependence on fossil fuels, about all forms of pollution, and how they can make a difference.
Junk Drawer Ecology will give inquisitive kids many hours of fun and help them learn at the same time.
BobbyMercer has been sharing the fun of science for more than two decades as a high school physics teacher. He is the author of the Junk Drawer series, including Junk Drawer Biology, Junk Drawer Chemistry, and Junk Drawer Geometry. He lives with his family outside of Asheville, North Carolina.
