Books with title Space Science Fair Projects

Energy is everwhere. A dozen kinds can be spotted without even taking a step, including solar, heat, light, fluid, sound, pressure, electrical, chemical, mechanical, magnetic, electromagnetic and gravity. This is a collection of 55 projects designed to be "science-is-all-around-you" investigations, using everyday experiences as the resource. It looks at subjects such as: what types of energy are released during a storm?; how does energy change from one form to another?; how does your home lose energy, and how can you prevent it?; what can a simple plastic band teach you about potential energy?; how does microwave energy cook food?; and which spot near your home would be the best to erect a windmill? All the experiments are designed with safety and supervision in mind.

Award-winning author Robert Gardner has been engaging young readers for decades. He continues to educate readers with simple hands-on activities that help kids understand earth science, including what exactly rain is, what air pressure is, and if rainfall can be measured. A glossary and a detailed explanation section following each experiment describe the science concepts and terms. Color illustrations accompany each experiment.
