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.
This is a great book for a young child to use with parents to explore some scientific principles. I read it because I was looking for quick science demos to use with students. There were quite a few that I already do some version of and a few of them were better versions. There were also some experiments that I haven't done and have added to my bag of tricks. :) The experiments are well-explained and use household materials so parents and their children should be able to explore these easily.
Full of some great experiments for you to try with your little ones, my personal favs are the messier ones. This book has helped me plan many library programs.
