Publisher's Synopsis
Reflecting the philosophy that a child's understanding and appreciation of science requires active participation in the learning process, this book presents a collection of science experiments for children aged five to ten. Clear explanations of results are given. The author includes in each activity a brief description of the scientific principles involved, the length of time required, a materials list and step-by-step procedures. Experiments are safe and easy and include observations of animal behaviour, growing plants, measuring temperatures, testing rain for acid and examining crystals.
