Even young children can understand the science of sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste, thanks to these simple explanations and safe, easy experiments. “Super book. Each of the five senses is explained using correct terminology...followed by a series of experiments. Colorful cartoons clarify the instructions. This book is sure to be a hit with teachers and children who love ‘to do science’ at home.”—School Library Journal.

Using materials they can find in their home, students can learn the science behind temperature and heat by performing experiments that demonstrate the conduction of heat in solids, thermal conductivity of liquids and gases, the relationship between temperature and color, and other scientific principles. Engaging color illustrations accompany every experiment, an explanation of the scientific method guides students, and safety tips educate students on the code of conduct expected when conducting experiments. An appendix with science supply companies, a glossary, further reading with books and websites, and an index are also included.

"Super book... sure to be a hit with teachers and children who love 'to do science' at home."--School Library JournalEven young children can understand the science behind the five senses, thanks to these simple explanations and safe experiments. Do people with big ears hear better than people with small ones? Test it out by making paper "ear trumpets" that amplify sound. Or, using everyday items, create an optical device that magnifies objects. Kids will learn what makes things feel hot and cold, how scratch and sniff cards work, why salt is salty and sugar sweet, and how all the senses work together.

Make a rocket from a plastic bottle, a hovercraft from a balloon, and a drag racer from cardboard! These amazing science projects use readily available items and have simple step-by-step instructions. Discover the science behind each experiment. They're quick to make and fun to show your friends and family. They bounce, they fly, they push, they whirl―they're forces and motion!

Magnets irresistibly draw kids to science--turning the learning process into a magical experience. This entertaining collection of experiments helps parents and teachers make the most of that natural, youthful curiosity. These activities answer all the most basic questions in a hands-on way, always with an eye to safety: What do the "N" and the "S" on a magnet mean? What can a magnet pick up--and can I make something magnetic? Where is the largest magnet in the world? There's even a way to make a magnet float in the air and a great "art project" using a magnet to decorate a silly drawing!
