Packed with over 30 easy at-home science experiments that address common questions kids have (“How do planes fly? Why are leaves green? Where do clouds come from?”), this colorful STEAM book explores topics like static electricity, sound vibrations, gravity, air pressure, and much more. At the beginning of the book, an informal Q&A section expressed in speech bubbles helps kids feel prepared to embark on scientific discovery. Experiments use easy-to-find supplies, are explained step-by-step with accompanying pictures, and prompt kids with questions to answer through their experimentation (an answer key is provided at the end if needed, however). A brief section at the beginning of each experiment overviews the concept being explored. A helpful table of contents makes finding the right experiment easy, and the back of the book includes a glossary and index. Parental supervision may be required for some activities.
