Giant Book of Science Experiments

From birds to bees, from sound to light, from heat to ice, kids will have hours of enjoyment (and learning!) with over 300 entertaining experiments. Each project introduces fascinating scientific principles, and shows children how and why things work. With a flowerpot and a long stick as your sundial, follow the shifting shadows to read the time. Turn a match and a watch into a compass. Create chemistry color magic: soak a red cabbage leaf in boiling water, add the violet liquid to glasses of water, white vinegar, and bicarbonate of soda, and watch what happens! Write a secret message in invisible ink made from vinegar and either lemon or onion juice. If you like looking at bubbles, poke a stick into the bottom of a muddy pond; methane gas caused by decomposing plants will come bubbling up. We all use electricity every day. But why does a battery make a flashlight light or a radio play? Find out! And if you've got an old one that you think is used up, warm it gently to bring it back to life. Make sure people hear what you've got to say: speak through a microphone! Construct one with two lead pencils, a matchbox, an earphone, and a battery. Other great experiments deal with magnetism, air, heat, evaporation, liquids, buoyancy, gravity, force and inertia, botany, reptiles and amphibians, invertebrates, and illusions. Parents will be pleased they'll have to help with some of these--after all, why should kids have all the fun? Sterling 352 pages, 372 b/w illus., 6 x 8.

The Little Giant® Book of Science Experiments

Best friends 4-ever means best friends doing things together. There’s plenty of activities, games, and projects here to occupy a group of pals, from simple and tasty sleepover treats to challenging brain bafflers. How do you doodle? With easy cartooning tips for creating caricatures, animals, and objects. For great games, try a Balloon Relay and Musical Bumps. Conjure up some math magic, such as the Three Digit Miracle: begin with any number, it doesn’t matter. When the calculating’s done, the result always comes out to 1089. Kids can bond over beading, as they make beautiful bracelets, headbands, necklaces, and anklets. And that’s not all: with quick science experiments, fortunetelling tricks, and card games for one after everyone’s gone, the fun will never end.
