The Kitchen Pantry:Ecology for Kids, Liz Heinecken

The Kitchen Pantry Scientist: Ecology for Kids features biographies of 25 leading ecologists, past and present, accompanied by accessible and engaging experiments and activities to bring the history and principles of ecology alive.
This engaging guide offers a series of snapshots of 25 scientists famous for their work with ecology. Each lab tells the story of a scientist along with some background about the importance of their work, and a description of where it is still being used or reflected in today's world.

A step-by-step illustrated experiment paired with each story offers kids a hands-on opportunity for exploring concepts the scientists pursued, or are working on today. Experiments range from very simple projects using materials you probably already have on hand, to more complicated ones that may require a few inexpensive items you can purchase online.

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5-9.
