Your Earth Science Sneak Peek Is Ready!
Thanks for being part of the Hey Smart Girl community 💛 This chapter is taken straight from the upcoming Hey Smart Girl: Book of Earth Science — written for curious girls ages 8–12 who love discovering how our amazing planet works.
Inside, your Smart Girl will explore erosion, build her own “eroding mountain” experiment, and meet environmental science hero Wangari Maathai — all in one powerful chapter.
What Your Smart Girl Will Discover Inside
This sneak peek gives your child a real chapter from the book — with clear explanations, hands-on science, and a story that shows how one woman used science to change her country.
- How wind, water, and ice slowly reshape landscapes through erosion
- A simple tray experiment: Build Your Own Eroding Mountain and watch weathering and erosion in fast-forward
- A guided “Think Like a Scientist” moment to spark real scientific thinking
- The inspiring true story of Wangari Maathai and how planting trees helped save Kenya’s soil
- A confidence-boosting “Smart Girl Status: Levelled Up!” wrap-up to celebrate what she’s learned
It’s perfect for a weekend project, homeschool lesson, or a screen-free afternoon exploring the science of our planet together.
Why Parents Love the Hey Smart Girl Series
The Hey Smart Girl books are designed to make real science feel friendly and doable — especially for girls who might think science is “too hard” or “not for them”.
- Real science, simplified – clear explanations without dumbing anything down.
- Hands-on experiments – using everyday household items (no fancy lab kit needed).
- Girl-powered stories – inspiring scientist biographies so she sees herself in STEM.
- Confidence-building tone – encouraging language that celebrates effort and curiosity.
- Perfect for ages 8–12 – ideal for independent readers or shared reading with you.
My goal with every book is simple: to help your Smart Girl say, “I get this!” and “I want to try that!” — whether she’s reading about biology, physics, chemistry, or now, Earth science.
This sneak peek is just the beginning. There’s a whole world of rocks, oceans, weather, and plate tectonics waiting for her.
