Description

How do you find water in the desert? Can you make a fire without matches? What’s the best way to navigate without a compass? Survival Science is packed with hands-on experiments, fascinating facts, and real-world survival skills that blend adventure with scientific discovery.

This kit explores the science behind survival techniques, from building shelters and filtering water to understanding animal behaviour and extreme weather. This kit also has its own YouTube playlist where host Hank Green walks you through the experiments and tells you the science behind how and why it works! Make a compass, filtration system and solar oven. With easy-to-follow activities, children can test out survival strategies while learning essential STEM concepts like physics, chemistry, and biology in a fun and engaging way.

Perfect for budding explorers, outdoor adventurers, and curious minds, Survival Science encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and resilience. Whether used at home, in the classroom, or on a real outdoor expedition, this book will spark a love for science and the natural world!
