Publisher's Synopsis
This work provides answers to over 40 questions, coupled with projects that demonstrate the scientific principles behind the answer. This approach, from the point of view of a curious child, should help parents and teachers not only provide accurate answers but also involve children in discovering answers for themselves.;The book is divided into six disciplines: engineering; astronomy; chemistry; meteorology; biology; and physiology. In addition to science children also learn about history and the drama of scientific progress through these projects. Trivia at the end of each project suggest areas for further study and experimentation. The book concludes with a resource list of science suppliers, a comprehensive glossary, and a list of places appropriate for further observation and exploration.
