Science concepts covered in the 70 experiments found in How to Do Science Experiments with children include: Properties of liquids (surface tension, density etc.) Properties of gases (volume, weight, pressure etc.) Chemical changes Physical changes Sound Static Electricity Forces (gravity, adhesion/cohesion, inertia/momentum etc.) There are Reproducible Scientific Method sheets and Student Predictors help students observe experiments, hypothesize, record results, and draw conclusions, applying basic science methodology to the principles at work. Each of the 70 experiments is given a name that first through third graders will find amusing. Some, such as "I Get a Charge Out of You," which demonstrates positive and negative charges by having a student rub a balloon on his or her hair and observe the effects of static electricity, are very basic. Others, such as "Wooly Wonder," which uses steel wool to demonstrate that oxygen is used up during the rusting process, are moderately involved. Each can be easily undertaken in the span of single class period. In addition, teachers will appreciate the many confidence-building features included, such as: Helpful getting ready hints General instructions for the experiments For each experiment, a concise statement of the objective and explanation of the results Complete list of materials needed for each experiment Step-by-step instructions for conducting the experiment Reproducible student record sheets for each experiment that enable students to predict outcomes and draw conclusions Reproducible pictures so that student can predict and graph the experiment results Need a similar resource for teaching science concepts to older students (grades 3-6)? The Evan-Moor Intermediate Science Series (EMC 832-EMC843) features a number of hands-on experiences.

Education & Teaching

Schools & Teaching

How to Do Science Experiments with Children contains 73 can-do projects that use inexpensive, readily available materials. The projects are organized into 6 sections: Liquids, Gases, Properties and Changes, Sound, Static Electricity, and Forces. Each experiment is presented in a consistent, teacher-friendly format: Teacher information (2 pages): materials list, experiment objective, science background, step-by-step teaching procedure. Reproducible student investigation sheet: students record observations and draw conclusions. Reproducible experiment icons: students are asked what they think will happen in the experiment. The icons are placed on a graph to record the class responses.
