Iqbal and His Ingenious Idea: How a Science Project Helps One Family and the Planet (CitizenKid series)

During Bangladesh’s monsoon season, Iqbal’s mother cooks indoors over an open fire. The smoke makes it difficult for his mother and baby sister to breathe and leaves them sick, so Iqbal worries when he hears them coughing. For a school science fair focused on sustainability, he designs a cooker that produces no smoke. His project aims to help his family while addressing the problem caused by indoor cooking smoke. The book includes project instructions and a glossary.
