Books with title Experiments With Heat and Energy

Reading about heat and cold is just the tip of the iceberg this book lets readers create their own icebergs! Hands-on activities make learning about heat and cold both tangible and fun. Simple explanations help readers grasp complex concepts while step-by-step instructions and accompanying photographs ensure they will master each experiment. Helpful tips keep readers safe and offer suggestions for improvements! Aspiring young scientists will enjoy trying the recommended additions and twists to activities. Theyll also learn real-life applications for the same scientific principles theyre working with at home, such as how air pockets in igloos work as insulation!

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.

Changing the temperature of certain things can result in some pretty cool outcomes. Readers of this innovative volume use heat and cold to perform a number of incredible experiments. Each project features concise, step-by-step instructions and colorful images that make it easy to follow along and learn from the activities. Helpful sidebars shed even more light on why and how the experiments work and help reinforce key science curricula. Each project is rated easy, medium, or difficult, making it simple to find the best project for a particular skill level.
