The Magic School Bus Solar Energy to the Rescue from ...

Inspired by the book series from Scholastic, The Magic School Bus Solar Energy to the Rescue kit is filled with materials that kids can use to perform science experiments. The colorfully illustrated guidebook, featuring the characters from The Magic School Bus series, offers more than 10 experiments designed to help kids learn about solar energy, plant life, carbon dioxide, and more. Some of the experiments include making a fan spin and melting ice. All of these are related back to the larger world, so kids can understand, for example, how melting ice in a cup replicates climate conditions that are melting the polar ice caps. Most of what kids need for the experiments is included in the kit, and the other needed items can be found around the house—tape, water, baking soda. http://www.timetoplaymag.com/toys/2341/the-young-scientists-club/the-magic-school-bus-solar-energy-to-the-rescue/
