Books in FUNdamental Experiments series

How does water travel from a plant’s roots to its leaves? What shape of seed will float best in the wind? In this title, students will conduct experiments to help them better understand plants. Kids will also investigate how plants make their own food and why most leaves are green. Using everyday items that can easily be found around the house, students will transform into scientists as they carry out step-by-step experiments to answer interesting questions. Along the way, children will pick up important scientific skills. Plants includes seven experiments with detailed, age-appropriate instructions, surprising facts and background information, a “conclusions” section to pull all the concepts in the book together, and a glossary of science words. Colorful, dynamic designs and images truly put the FUN into FUN-damental Experiments.

What happens if you put two magnets together? What objects are attracted to a magnet? How strong is a magnet? And how do we use magnets in our everyday lives?

We see and use it every day, but what exactly is water, and what are its properties? In this title, students will get the opportunity to conduct experiments that show how water can be a liquid, a gas, or a solid. Kids will also get the chance to investigate questions such as "What floats in water?" and "What dissolves in water?" Using everyday items that kids can easily find around the house, students will turn into scientists as they carry out step-by-step experiments to answer interesting questions. Along the way, children will pick up important science skills as they investigate water, record their observations, and draw conclusions. Waterincludes seven experiments with detailed, age-appropriate instructions, great facts and background information, a Conclusions section to pull all the concepts in the book together, and a glossary of science words.

How do we know there is air all around us if we can?t see it? Is it possible for air to make something move? Does air have a smell or a taste? What kinds of things are in air? Can air be hot or cold? And why is air so important to people, animals, and plants? Using everyday, easy-to-find items, young students will get the chance to be real-life scientists and carry out step-by-step experiments to answer these and other intriguing questions. As they do so, these young scientists will be observing, recording their observations, and drawing conclusions. Each book in this series includes at least seven experiments with detailed, age-appropriate instructions, great facts and background information, a conclusions section to pull all the concepts investigated in the book together, and a glossary of science words.
