Where do penguins go to Dance?
Polar Eyes, is an interactive new children’s book about Antarctica from CSIRO.
The book illustrates author Tanya Patrick’s journey through the scenes and science of one of the most fascinating parts of the planet.
Featured hands-on-activities will bring Antarctic science to your kitchen or classroom. They vary from the tempting: making an edible Antarctica, to the serious: surviving in a white out. The whole family will be kept busy building everything from weather stations to mini-biospheres, all from objects we often throw out in the recycling.
It’s also packed with odd facts to entertain young minds, such as bugs that can be freeze-dried and brought back to life, and how Antarctic scientists have to pollinate cucumber flowers with paintbrushes in their insect-free hydroponic gardens.
Polar Eyes is available for $24.95 through CSIRO at: www.csiroshop.com
