Meet Adeline and her two curious cats, Blue and Oreo, in the first book of the Purr-fect Science Fair Project series. In Land Ice vs. Sea Ice, Adeline explores one of the coolest questions in climate science: What happens when different types of ice melt, and how does it affect sea level rise? After hearing about global warming and melting ice caps, Adeline wants to see for herself why scientists are so concerned. With simple materials from around the house like ice cubes, cups, water, and a little imagination, she creates two mini experiments to test what happens when land ice and sea ice melt. Her goal is to understand the science behind rising oceans and why some ice has a bigger impact than others. With Blue and Oreo by her side (and occasionally in the way), Adeline observes the different in floating sea ice and ice on land ice. As she records her findings, she learns about buoyancy, displacement, and the real-world consequences of climate change. Her playful cats bring humor and unexpected moments, turning science into an adventure. Perfect for curious kids in grades 3 to 5, this engaging, STEM-powered story blends storytelling, real science, and hands-on learning. It introduces key earth science concepts in a way that is both accessible and fun, whether in the classroom, at home, or part of a homeschool curriculum. Also included is a bonus guide to help young scientists design and complete their own science fair projects. From asking a question and forming a hypothesis to collecting data and presenting results, the guide walks students through every step of the process. Land Ice vs. Sea Ice is the first book in the Purr-fect Science Fair Project series by Bae Data Lab INC. Through clever storytelling, playful illustrations, and real science experiments, this series empowers kids to explore the world around them, one paws-itively awesome question at a time.
