This kit will give your child a broad overview of
climate and climate change. Experiments and
background information will provide him or her
with basic information about a fascinating topic,
one of extreme importance and interest to both
adults and children.
The topic is complex and the experiments
are not always simple, so they should be carried
out with thought and care. Please be prepared
to stand by your child to offer help and advice
and provide support whenever it may be need-
ed. If an experiment does not work as expected
the first time, you may need to try it again.
The climate is a massive natural system, but
despite its enormous size, often phenomena or
changes in the climate are very subtle and hard
to detect in a short amount of time. The experi-
ments in this kit model aspects of the climate
on a smaller scale, thus making them easier to
observe. However, some of the experiments will
yield very subtle results, and you will have to
look closely to see them. Encourage your child
to be a good detective and look closely to see
the results of the experiments.
Read through the instructions together
before beginning the experiments and follow
them. Pay attention to the basic rules for safe
experimentation on the inside cover and be
sure both you and your child review the safety
warnings that are provided with the individual
experiments.
We wish you and your young researcher lots
of fun and success with the experiments.
