Publisher's Synopsis
Why is the sky blue? Why do things fall to the ground? How do seeds grow? What makes sound and music? Where do mountains come from? Young children ask their parents hundreds of questions like these. In search of answers, we use science to both enlighten and delight. Science Experiments Volume 1 (Biology, General Science and Nature) provides instructions for making 25 simple experiments that can be "Made at Home with your children. It is an introduction to the wealth of material in many other books available in libraries and bookstores. Science Experiments in a Bag engages young children. It has experiments they can see, touch, manipulate, and modify; situations that allow them to figure out what happens--in short, events and puzzles that they can investigate, which is the very stuff of science. All the experiments have been tested by a group of moms and they work great! But most importantly, kids of all ages are observing, asking questions, learning science, and loving it! And, science experiments are not a hassle anymore, because it's all in the bag! This book suggests ways you can interest your children from about 3 to 10 years old in science. It includes: - Some basic information about science; - Instructions to assemble 25 easy science experiments for children to do - some alone, some with supervision both inside and outside the home; - A brief description of nine scientific concepts, and a list of recommended science books and magazines. - Many of the experiments cost little or nothing and require no special equipment. They are convenient, easy, economical, fun, engaging, and educational. Learn what others are saying about Science Experiments in a Bag: It's worth the time and effort, and a great way to get your kids to learn and be fascinated with the world God created. My daughter loves doing Science Experiments in a Bag and she can't wait to do more at home. Science Experiments in a Bag are perfect for our family! Sue R. Convenient, easy to make at home, inexpensive, fun, and most importantly educational. What more could a Mom want? Beth L. We used all normal items from home. That is one thing I loved about these experiments-you use normal everyday products from home! Our favorite experiment used borax, popsicle sticks, glue, food coloring, paper cups, and water. I allowed my eldest to conduct the experiment and my little almost 5 year old was able to explain all the observations and we wrote them down on the "Observation Questions" area on the form. So, what my children made was basically "Flarp"!!! Heeeee! With a really cool twist...We didn't have to purchase it! We made it! The science behind the item was what I wanted my kids to see. It was amazing to watch my youngest son's eyes light up in amazement that he had created something he could keep and play with for a long time. This is just one of the FUN experiments that you will find within the Science Experiments books. All of the experiments are fun, just like this one. They are easy to grab on the go if you place all of the "dry" ingredients in a gallon bag...and add the liquid items or the needed-what I call-fresh items when you actually conduct the experiment.
