What better way is there to learn than by doing? This unusual book enables children to carry out more than 103 different experiments and demonstrations, carefully planned to illustrate principles of modern science. Clear step-by-step instructions, frequent diagrams, and clear statements of conclusions all enable the young student to carry through these experiments with minimal supervision, yet full success. The science projects included demonstrate what things are made of and how substances are affected by the different forms of energy, heat, light, sound, mechanical energy, electricity, and magnetism. The experiments show how a thermometer measures temperature, how an electric bulb gives light, how shadows are formed, how a stethoscope works, how to make a periscope, how to make a rainbow, how straws work, how water changes size, and many other fascinating facts. Little is required in the way of equipment other than simple materials found at home, such as bottles, cardboard, wire, nails, cork, paper, and magnets. This volume offers upper grade school, junior high school, and high school students a very entertaining way to enrich their background in science and its applications. It is also a very valuable aid to parents, teachers, and others who wish to make clear, forceful demonstrations to children.

Science, Nature & How It Works

There's magic in the air--because the wizard has arrived to bring you some fantastic puzzles to conjure up fun, fun, fun! Along with knights, dragons, princesses, fairies, and other fanciful folk, he's whipped up some special challenges that you just can't resist. Prove your grasp of logic to the master by determining how many anti-ogre potions he has to hand out, which disguises each of five squires is wearing, and what emblems adorn the shields of the finest knights in Camelot. Solve the case of the "robbing elves." Come up with a plan that Sir Good and Sir Pure can use to cross a river with all their supplies. Show you're mathematically inclined with number conundrums. Don't worry if you're having a little trouble coming up with the answers; pages with special hints will help you figure it all out!

Make science magic every day of the year! "With an average of 3 or 4 accessible experiments per spread, the volume demonstrates how to utilize simple items such as straws, string, paper and eggs to make a galvanometer or a balance scale. Two-color drawings show step-by-step instructions, and a cast of animal characters inject some humor."--Publishers Weekly.

365 Simple Science Experiments

Churchill, E. Richard

Investigates the nature of time, explores the history of time and how to tell time by the sun, moon, stars, and clocks

Sterling Pub. Co., Inc.

Because time is such an important part of our lives, we hardly ever take a minute to think about it. Now kids can investigate all the wonders of time with dozens of experiments--all of which use easy-to-find supplies and materials. They'll learn how to tell time using the sun, moon, and stars. They'll make and use their own hourglass, candle timekeeper, and water clock, and they'll discover how clocks and watches work. Fun-filled explorations help explain the principles behind the pendulums in grandfather clocks, the gears that turn a clock's hands, and the motors that run electric clocks. Other investigations include making a model of the International Date Line, drawing a star map, making a cereal box planetarium, and more. Fascinating facts are included to answer such questions as why clocks count to twelve, where the word "watch" comes from, why daylight savings time is observed, how scientists can date fossils, and whether or not time travel might be possible. One look at the dozens of creative experiments contained here, and kids won't want to wait to start exploring the secrets of time. Sterling 96 pages, 95 b/w illus., 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.
