But what \u003ci\u003eis \u003c\/i\u003eenergy--potential, kinetic, chemical, radiant, and thermal? The lab activities in this book will let you \u003cb\u003eexplore almost everything about energy--what it is, how we find it, how we use it, and how we can save it\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Uniting this collection of science experiments for the kitchen, backyard, or classroom is the goal to explore and discover \u003cb\u003ereal energy solutions\u003c\/b\u003e.

The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels.

After graduating from Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Earth science and a minor in science education, she began teaching eighth grade science. Her school was chosen to take part in an energy education project where students learn about their energy use and then teach others, with the help of the National Energy Education Development (NEED) curriculum and materials. Emily saw her students come alive with the NEED program, where she is now curriculum director. In this capacity she shares her passion for energy education as a facilitator of teacher and student events and programming across the country and around the world.\u003cb\u003eLiz Lee Heinecke\u003c\/b\u003e has loved science since she was old enough to inspect her first butterfly. After working in molecular biology research for 10 years and earning her master's degree, she left the lab to kick off a new chapter in her life as a stay-at-home mom. Soon, she found herself sharing her love of science with her three kids as they grew, chronicling their science adventures on her KitchenPantryScientist website. Her desire to share her enthusiasm for science led to regular television appearances, an opportunity to serve as an Earth Ambassador for NASA, and the creation of an iPhone app. Her goal is to make it simple for parents to do science with kids of all ages, and for kids to experiment safely on their own. Liz graduated from Luther College and received her master's degree in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is the author of \u003ci\u003eKitchen Science Lab for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKitchen Science Lab for Kids: Edible Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOutdoor Science Lab for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSTEAM Lab for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSheet Pan Science, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLittle Learning Labs: Kitchen Science for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e.
