Publisher's Synopsis
How do I make a volcano? How can I grow my own crystals using salt? Learn how to make water disappear? Learn what happens when you trap liquid? 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 3 provides examples of 25 MORE simple experiments (Chemistry) that you can be "Made at Home" and do with your children. It is an introduction to the wealth of material in many other books available in libraries and bookstores. Science Experiments 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 you can Make at Home for children to do - some alone, some with supervision both inside and outside the home; - A brief description of scientific concepts, and a list of online resources; - Many of the experiments cost little or nothing and require no special equipment. They are convenient, easy, economical, fun, engaging, and educational. Together, with this book, parents and children can: -Learn how fires are put out; -Learn how to make glue from vinegar and milk; -Learn how much iron is in different juices; -Learn how to make invisible ink; -Learn how to grow crystals in the sun; -Learn how to make your own perfume from common garden plants and spices. Read what people are saying about Science Experiments Volume 3: I found these e-books to be a great asset to our science curriculum. In both of the books, there is a page that categorizes each experiment according to where it takes place (indoors or outdoors) and which of the sciences it emphasizes. This helped immensely in the decision-making process. There were also many helpful hints for the coordinator of a swap. The experiments themselves were easy to use, with common materials and simple instructions. And one of the best things about this product is that each experiment is meant to cost only about a dollar to assemble. All of my children, ages 4-13, enjoyed this fun way to learn about the wonderful world around us and the amazing things God has created. Product review by Charlotte G., The Old Schoolhouse(R) Magazine, LLC, March 2010 The lab pages that are included have questions that are simple enough for students to complete on their own, and really get them thinking about what's happening during the experiment, it then goes on to help the student to understand what they are seeing and why. Your student will complete the lab questions independently during each step of their experiment, letting parents and teachers know they completed and understand the experiment. These experiments work great for our family! We did a couple of the experiments yesterday for our school and had so much fun with them! There are experiments like rockets, static electricity, 5 senses, etc. My kids also did a Static Balloon race, which was a blast. You rub the balloon on your head and then it will pull an empty soda can! The experiments are easy to make at home and fun to do.
