The City Water Project

by Karen GoatKeeper

Overview

Science is not boring in this activity book. There are investigations, activities, projects, a variety of pencil puzzles and stories about how people get, use and dispose of their water. All of the investigations and activities are done with easily obtainable materials. All come with step-by-step directions. Some cover the basics of what water is and does. Others use water in various ways including water rockets. The stories explore how both city people and country people get their water, plumbing, industrial uses and waste water treatment. The puzzles include coloring pages, pencil puzzles, quotations about water and more. Many pages have water notes of water facts and trivia. The book is arranged for ages 9 to 14, but many of the investigations and activities can be easily adapted for both younger and older ages. The author includes results of doing the investigations and activities and solutions to the puzzles.

About the Author

Tongue Twisters. I've always been fascinated by them. English is special for tongue twisters, alliteration and other word plays.
Then there are my Nubian dairy goats. Goats in general do some crazy things.
The result is "For Love of Goats" just out. Read it aloud, if you dare. Or sit back and enjoy the watercolor illustrations and humor.
Writing is a passion, an addiction, and I enjoy indulging it. My topics range from nature (Exploring the Ozark Hills - a book of nature essays and photographs - and "My Ozark Home" - nature photographs and haiku) to science (The Pumpkin Project - botany investigations, puzzles, stories and more about pumpkins) to novels.
Goats are popular subjects in "Goat Games" - puzzles, stories and more - and the novels "Dora's Story" - the life of a dairy goat - and "Capri Capers" - a blend of 1930s movie serial and melodrama. Bullying is dealt with in the three Hazel Whitmore books - "Broken Promises", "Old Promises" and Mistaken Promises" - "Edwina" - with a touch of fantasy - and "Running the Roads". These are all upper middle grade to beginning young adult.
There are so many story ideas out on my hills. This next year will bring more, but in a different form. Science fiction - "The Carduan Chronicles" - will bring an alien invasion into an Ozark ravine. Hopefully released Fall, 2020.
Water is the science topic. "The City Water Project" is filled with investigations, activities (ever shoot off a water rocket?), puzzles and stories about how people get, use and dispose of their water. Hopefully this is released in March, 2020. And, yes, "The Wild Water Project" is in the planning stages.
My pen name is in honor of my Nubian dairy goats. My goats have shared my life for over 45 years now. I have a flock of chickens and 5 cats as well as a vegetable garden.
A degree in zoology and several years teaching science seems to slide into my books too. Knowing more about why nature works the way she does makes what I observe more special.
Country living may not be for everyone. It is the way for me. Visit my website to find out more about country living and my goats.
