Books in Hands-on Science Projects series

These giant books of projects and experiments take a hands-on approach to science concepts. Hundreds of simple and easy experiments explore various scientific principles behind natural phenomena like friction, centrifugal force, and the underlying laws of physics that help make machines work. These fun yet practical experiments make it easy for anyone to become a rocket scientist! What makes a wind-up toy move? Why do you oil your bicycle chain but not your brake pads? Hands-On Science: Forces and Motion by Sarah Angliss and Maggie Hewson helps kids master the laws of force and motion through simple experiments they can conduct using common household items. Each experiment includes step-by-step, illustrated instructions as well as background information, studies, and results that help kids develop a deeper understanding of the concept.

Budding scientists and novices alike will learn about the properties of matter and materials as they experiment with a variety of household objects in Hands-On Science: Matter and Materials by Sarah Angliss and Maggie Hewson. Through these informative and easy to conduct experiments and activities, young learners will discover the interesting and often-changing characteristics of materials in their everyday world.

This fascinating book will not only explain the basic forces at work behind different forms of transport, but will also give children hours of learning fun. Each concept is clearly demonstrated by a hands-on, step-by-step project that is easy to follow. Make a hot air balloon, a model catamaran or a railroad track and, through practical experiments, learn how they work. Take a look inside a car engine and discover pistons and crankshafts, then create artificial gravity with the aid of a centrifuge. With over 40 practical and well explained projects, learning how vehicles work has never been easier or more fun.
