    Synopsis

    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.

    Children's Literature

    This edition contains the same experiments from five previous titles such as Simple Physics Experiments with Everyday Materials (1993) and Simple Time Experiments with Everyday Materials (1995) helpfully combined and reorganized into new categories. Areas of discovery include heat, air, water, light, gravity, sound, food, clocks and time, ecosystems, flight, outer space, and rocketry. Each experiment illustrates some property-such as sound travels better through a tube or sugar burns while salt does not. Each activity is presented in four parts: "What to do," "What happens," "Why" and "What next." While teachers and students may conduct the experiment and see the results for themselves, the clean format enables learners to visualize properties and learn the "whys" and "wherefores" without actually leaving their chairs. Most experiments demand very little in the way of materials, usually requiring only common household items, while a few cooking experiments demand adult supervision. Most can be done by any elementary-age child. Glossary and index are included, and black line illustrations tinted pink or orange lighten the page or picture the set-up, but otherwise teach little.
