Chemistry has never been so fun, and so accessible, as it is in the bright pages of this invaluable volume. While following step-by-step instructions, with the aid of colorful illustrations, readers find themselves in control of their own laboratory, exploring such significant scientific topics as changing states of matter, chemical reactions, and crystal formation. Each experiment, using common materials, highlights a need-to-know concept as well as thoroughly explains what each result means. A vivid design and accessible text make this high-interest book even more inviting to future scientists.

With electronic devices in nearly every home, electrical and magnetic currents are a common part of everyday life. Understanding how these concepts work in a safe and practical way is an important part of every young scientist's journey. Through this volume's simple, hands-on experiments, young scientists will get a good look at both in action, encouraging their understanding of these complex forces. With experiments on static electricity and magnetic attraction, young readers will dive right into the step-by-step instructions while learning important scientific lessons.

Plants that grow and blossom, intriguing wildlife, water and dirt, and the environment: by looking at all the wonderful elements of nature, kids will begin to discover science principles in everyday life. As they carry out experiments with handy items, they’ll uncover the reasons why leaves change color in the fall, why ants march in a line, and lots of life’s other fascinating mysteries. Young scientists will check out where seeds come from and cultivate their own. Take a close look at a ladybug’s spots and find out what they mean. See what happens when oil gets in water, what’s inside a rock, how to help the environment, and more.

What is the volume of your bedroom? How much space does a ball of clay take up? Does water take up more space when it freezes? Everything around you has volume, or takes up space. The ideas in this book will help you learn what volume is and how it can be measured. Using simple materials, you can do everything a scientist does: conduct experiments, keep records, and draw conclusions from what you have learned. Many chapters also include follow-up questions and ideas that are very useful if you are interested in entering a science fair. Lots of colorful drawings make the written instructions easy-to-follow.
