Amazon Science Kit

I'm a sucker for educational toys, and this one looks like a great deal. It's Thames & Kosmos Alternative Energy and Environmental Science Sustainable Earth Lab


Looks like a great set, sold everywhere for $50 or more, and only $29.99 on Amazon for now. 

Kit is organized into five main sections: renewable energies, natural resource usage, climate change prevention, waste and water management, and energy conservation. -Construct a miniature water treatment plant. -Learn how substances in unnatural concentrations can pollute habitats and harm life. -Manufacture recycled paper and plastic. -Get an understanding of the rapid growth in world population. -Explore the causes and consequences of the greenhouse effect with carbon dioxide tests. -Experiment with heat transfer and insolation. -Build devices to explore wind power, water power. -Track down wasteful uses of energy at school and in your home. -Full-color. -48-page manual guides your experiments and energy conservation activities. -Ages 10 and up.
