Gardner, Robert

Presents ideas for an exploration of how to set up science projects in the areas of astronomy, ecology, energy, biology, anatomy, botany, physics, and engineering.

Presents an introduction to light and color, in simple text with illustrations, providing a collection on experiments and activites to explore these fundamental concepts.

Presents step-by-step instructions for ten investigations of heat and energy, covering such subjects as elastic potential energy, electric energy, and insulation, and provides an explanation of the principles involved in each experiment.

Simple projects help young scientists begin to understand the Earth and its place in the solar system.

Presents instructions for twenty-nine experiments on the properties of gases, liquids, and solids, each accompanied by science fair project ideas, and includes a further reading list and a directory of science supply companies.

Presents thirty-one science fair projects on static electricity, circuits, magnets and magnetic fields, magnetism from electricity, electricity and chemistry, and electricity, magnets, and motors, and includes contact information for several science supply companies.

Presents instructions for thirty-five science experiments that use simple materials to demonstrate light, sound, and waves.

Explores the properties of sound through experiments and activities.

Demonstrates scientific principles in the fields of chemistry and physics by replicating experiments performed by such scientists as Archimedes, Galileo, Antoine Lavoisier, and Sir Isaac Newton.

Science experiments, mostly using materials found in the home, demonstrating principles of chemistry, mechanics, biology, light, astronomy, heat, and electricity.
