Books that contain experiments dealing with a single subject (such as
Chemistry, Optics, Magnetism, etc.) are listed individually under that
topic. |

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! 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? Ages 10 and up. 6" x 8" 352 pages,
372 b/w illustrations
No. BSA40-GB. Only $14.95 |

Six Minute Nature Experiments
What a wonderful world we live in--and these fifty imaginative science
experiments vividly demonstrate to kids concepts of nature such as
gravity, evaporation, friction, density, and absorption. All you need are
simple household articles. Which is heavier--popped or unpopped
popcorn? It rained and rained...but now the sun's out and the water
will soon disappear. Where does it go? And which puddles will dry more
quickly--the ones that are deep or the shallow ones?
How Does Your Garden Grow? It
takes more than just sticking seeds in the ground to grow a great plant.
With a few sponges, shallow pans, birdseed, water, and measuring utensils,
see what they mean.
Plus: Have barrels of fun building toy boats, preparing frozen yogurt,
making music, creating abstract paintings and racing toy cars! Ages 10
and up. 8.5" x 11" 80 pages.

Shocking, Slimy, Stinky, Shiny
Science Experiments
Shine a light on
science--you might discover some shocking facts, but one thing's for sure:
the only thing that stinks are the odors you'll whip up in the section on
scent! Here are more than 75 experiments that really test your sense of
sight, touch, and smell. Use mirrors and lenses to watch light reflect,
bounce, and bend. Create reflections and shadows, and make a rainbow,
periscope, and electromagnet. Get the juices flowing by switching on the
electricity--make some static with two balloons, and see what other
materials you can get a charge out of. Choose some oozy, runny, sticky,
stringy slimes to test--don't worry, they're disgusting looking but won't
get you dirty! The experiments use things like sunscreen, cooking oil, and
squishy foods. Take a whiff of some nice and nasty smells, and see which
ones are stronger, which fade away, and which make you cry. And find out how
you can even smell with your mouth. It's hands on, eyes on, nose on science!
Ages 10 and up. 6.75" x 11.5" 96 pages.

Usborne Book of
Science Experiments
Tie a knot in water, take fingerprints or concoct red cabbage cocktails,
these are some of the fun and original experiments in this book. All the
experiments are simple and safe to carry out at home and use easy to
obtain equipment. Simple step-by-step pictures and instructions show how
to do the experiments and clear explanations and diagrams explain the
scientific principles and link the experiments to real-life applications.
There are over a hundred experiments which demonstrate many different
aspects of physics, chemistry and biology in a fun and practical way.

100 Science Experiments with Paper
From paper bags to cardboard boxes, from crinkly crepe to thin tissue:
pick any kind of paper and write your ticket to science fun! Just add
easy-to-find materials like Ping-Pong balls and combs, and create a
weather vane to learn about air, a paper bridge and birds to demonstrate
balance, and a spinning spiral snake to show the power of heat. Go up, up,
and away with index-card helicopters, make a bang with a paper popper, and
cause static cling with a tissue paper doll. Float a "soap boat" out of
index cards and a small bit of soap, magnetize paper, and roll a "star
hoop." 100 experiments work with chemistry, light, motion, water, and
math.
128 pages, 102 b/w illus., 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.
