Illustrated by Frances Zweifel This companion to the popular 365 Simple Science Experiments fills a whole new year with fun, easy and educational hands-on experiments. Kids will learn basic scientific concepts, covering everything from nature, physics, time, chemistry and space. The fundamentals of science are brought to life in an informative and colorful text that children ages seven and up can easily follow by themselves. Simple, clear and safe instructions explain the experiments all of which use everyday materials found in most homes. Projects range from mastering helicopter flight with a pencil and piece of cardboard to building bird-nests, preserving spider webs and constructing a "cigar box" guitar (to understand sound waves). More than 700 lively illustrations give visual aids to help set up the experiments.

Investigate the mysterious forces that affect the earth, using materials found around the house. Build an earthquake detector from a shoebox, pencil, paper, and string. Create a glacier model that melts, moves, and leaves behind sand and rock. Experiment with gravity, magnetism, plants and recycling. All are simple, safe, and guaranteed to work. 128 pages, 30 b/w illus., 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.

How does heat change a solid to a liquid? What makes an echo? Why do we cry when we peel an onion? Can water flow upwards? Uncover these answers and put the world at your fingertips every day of the year with hands-on, always surprising science activities. Every experiment is illustrated with over 700 delightful drawings and uses easy-to-find materials.
