Science in Seconds for Kids

by Jean Potter

Make lightning in your room! Keep paper dry under water! Lose weight by going upstairs! See colors that aren't there! Experience the magic of science with these quick, easy experiments and activities from Jean Potter. You can complete each activity in ten fun-filled minutes or less. Clear, step-by-step instructions and illustrations help you get it right every time. The projects help you learn about everything from why eggs aren't round to how submarines surface and submerge. You will find most of the required materials already in your home, backyard, or neighborhood, and you can perform the experiments practically anywhere. The 108 activities in this book cover twelve different subject areas, including air, animals, energy, gravity, magnetism, light, the human body, and much more. You'll make a rainbow right on your floor, pop a balloon with a magnifying glass, make a coffee can roll back to you after you've pushed it away, and bend water as it streams from your faucet--all with the help of a leading educator. Children Ages 8-12

Over 100 different quick, fun projects to try out in 10 minutes. Each one comes with an explanation of what's experienced so learning about light, energy, gravity, animals, genetics and lots more is definitely both fun & educational

[Ashlee Moser]

I really enjoyed this book and all the experiments it had. I would like to try to have a day in my own classroom where all the students would try some experiments on their own. I think this book is perfect for that kind of situation. They are easy, simple, and most can all be done in a classroom. I really think my students would enjoy this book and what it contains.

It really is science in seconds. Simple demonstrations of basic principles. They could be used individually, spontaneously, or several together, and still be effective.
