Description

Guide your children into scientific discovery through this well-organized, easy-to-follow book. Abundant and creative hands-on activities include: grow bacteria; design a marble run; make gummy worms grow and shrink; and design (and erupt!) a volcano. With the user's overview, parents and teachers will learn to ask questions to inspire curiosity, a basic experimental design, and find the necessary supply list. The activities focus on easy-to-find, common household or local items, along with a small plastic beaker, safety googles, simple thermometer, eye dropper and a stop watch.

Topically, children explore plants/seeds, water/ice, mold, bacteria/fungus, engineering, food/candy, baking soda /vinegar, environmental science and living things. Experiments are clearly explained, easy to implement and focus on creative thinking and data analysis, laying a strong foundation for the scientific process. An excellent resource for multiple ages at home, co-ops, learning centers, schools and after school programs. 223 pgs, pb. ~ Deanne
