Books with title Surprising Science Experiments

Here is your chance to investigate the wild, wacky world of science. The experiments are fun to carry out and will give some very surprising results - just the thing to intrigue young scientists into finding out more. All the projects can be carried out with everyday objects, but put to some rather unusual uses. Scientists aged 8 and up should grab their goggles and get ready for some serious fun.

Learning About Science provides hands-on activities for your young scientists. They'll explore 24 science concepts about magnets, liquids, gasses, solids, and simple machines. Reproducible sheets to record results are included.Experiments can be done by individual students, in small groups, or as a whole class. A few experiments, such as those requiring boiling water, must be done by the teacher with the students observing.Activities help children practice skills in: prediction, observation, communication, making comparisons, ordering, and categorization. You get student activity sheets and many reproducibles.Science concepts covered include: magnets, water, air, rocks, and simple machines. Cute, yet accurate line art illustrations throughout. All 48 pages perforated for easy removal.

This is the perfect book for the young person who wants to know how things work, and why they work: more than 200 simple experiments that are not only entertaining but educational. As the experimenter learns to light a fire with ice, to crate rain indoors, to use a wrist watch as a compass, he also learns about astronomy, botany, chemistry, physics; he is gently introduced to the principles of electricity and magnetism, heat, light, sound, gravity, momentum and inertia, and even the human senses. Each project is illustrated and includes clear instructions and explanations of cause and effect. Each is safe and easy to do, and the only equipment and mùaterials necessary are simple tools and ordinary household articles. Children of all ages -- and their parents too -- will find that this book both stimulates and satisfies their curiosity.
