Bug Lab For Kids

Posted on June 27, 2018 in 2018 Summer Fun Gift Guide kids Reviews

Bug Lab For Kids is a great collection of loads of fun activities for kids. My son, age 7, loves this book. He is so taken by it. He loves to work on the labs, together. You can collect and interact with bugs the right way, with this book.

The Bug Lab For Kids has taught the two of us so much. From how to catch bugs, to how to pin them. It’s a family-friendly activity book, and gives us something to do together. He’s so into the electronics, so when I get home from work, I take him outside, and we work on catching some bugs. He always takes the book with him. Hopefully he will remember these activities when he gets older, so he an do them with his kids.

Prepare to cozy up with spiders, centipedes, butterflies, and bees, to name just a few! In Bug Lab for Kids, Mississippi State University associate professor, extension entomologist (bug expert), and educator John W. Guyton shares his knowledge and excitement about all things beautiful, creepy, and crawly. Every chapter is bursting with photos, illustrations, fascinating facts and fun activities–including experiments, hunt-and-catch and citizen science assignments, and arts and crafts projects–that teach kids about bugs’ physical characteristics, behavior, and how they affect agriculture, health, and water quality. Bug Lab for Kids also includes helpful sidebars that explain how to safely handle common insects, and how to easily identify bugs that shouldn’t be held, pet, or touched. Get kids excited about science and the outdoors with Bug Lab for Kids!

Get To Know 20 Crazy Bugs

Posted on June 27, 2018 in 2018 Summer Fun Gift Guide kids Reviews

The Amazing World Bugs Book is fantastic. My wife hates bugs, but I found it intriguing to look at with my 7 year old, son. My son really got into it, and there’s even 13 glow in the dark bugs that came with the book. It’s a really great book, to introduce the little ones to a whole other world out there. My wife never goes outside, unless it’s to head straight to the car, but my son, he loves being outside with me. So, the Amazing World Bugs is a great book for him. He even takes it outside, and if he sees a bug from the book, will turn to that page, and go show his mother what he just saw. In all honesty, only a couple of the bugs are found, where we are. But, he sure makes it sound good when he runs and tells mom what he saw.

The Amazing World series transports kids to extraordinary places from the bottom of the deepest ocean to faraway galaxies. The third title in the series, Amazing World: Bugs explores the incredible world of 20 strange and magnificent insects, from shimmering glow worms and fireflies, to the extremely odd giraffe bug. Every insect profile includes up-close-and-personal, full-color photos of each amazing creature and tons of fun facts and easily digestible graphics. Kids learn about where each bug lives, what they eat, how they survive predators much, MUCH larger than they are, and so much more! The book comes with 13 reusable glow-in-the-dark plastic stickers.

A battery operated lawn mower is much more clean for the ozone than that of a gasoline

powered lawn mower. Battery powered lawn mowers prove to be safer for the environment

since over 17 million gallons of gasoline are spilled refueling gas powered lawn mowers

each year.

Each weekend, about 54 million Americans mow their lawns, using 800 million gallons of gas per year and producing tons of air pollutants. Garden equipment engines, which have had unregulated emissions until the late 1990’s, emit high levels of carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides, producing up to 5% of the nation’s air pollution and a good deal more in metropolitan areas. Therefore , battery powered lawn mowers are all around safer for our environment.
