Description

This book is such a great idea, where fairy tales and science unite! Each chapter opens with the summary of a tale, some well-known, others perhaps less familiar. There is a scientific question about some aspect of the story to investigate. Finally, each chapter has hands-on experiments and activities that relate to the investigation. In addition to exploring various fields of science, the nature of fairy tales themselves, their origins, characters, and messages are considered. Whether you are a science fan, a fairy tale fan, or both, take out your notebook and pencil, grab your goggles, and let’s get going! 233 pgs, hc.
