Our library system is located in a large DC suburb; it’s quite innovative. There are Maker Spaces with 3D printers, Make and Take kits, and even The Library of Things. Whenever possible I browse the local library for ideas. Our local library has a dedicated shelf for its Library of Things. Today, the shelf has crochet, bocce, a thermal detector, and air quality kit. Next summer, I plan to borrow several kits for Science Camp. I want to borrow the radon kit, thermal sensor, and air quality sensor. Your library may have similar devices to loan. Check and see! If you want to borrow environmental devices, see if you have a NASA Outreach Center. I’ve used the center in Katherine Johnson Center located in Fairmont WV. These centers have an assortment of tools, such as GPS devices or IR thermometers to loan. Check with the local Soil and Water Conservation District to see if there is an educator. Usually, Soil and Water acts as a clearinghouse for resources from several agencies.
