"From squirming insects to smelly human bodies, there's so much to explore with these . . . icky experiments. Learn about everything from food, bugs, germs and poop to all the weird and wonderful things you're made of. Taste and tear through a variety of edible models of skin, blood and scabs. Rip open fake stomachs, create blood baths and test your own body to see just how gross human beings can get. Don't stop there, though! Get your friends and family involved, and give them bath bombs full of bugs or see how long it takes them to detect different smells from across the room. There are so many ways to disgust and amuse those around you, from smelly cow burps and slimy frogspawn to homemade poo launchers and experiments that explode with fizzy juices"--OCLC.

Provides step-by-step instructions for science projects using household materials and explains the science behind the experiments.

"Twins Alec and Walker Holland have a reputation around town. One is quiet and the other is the life of any party, but the two are inseparable. For their last summer before college, Alec and Walker leave the city to live with their rural cousins, where they find that the swamp holds far darker depths than they could have imagined. While Walker carves their names into the new social scene, Alec recedes into a summer-school laboratory, slowly losing himself to a deep, dark experiment. This season, both brothers must confront truths, ancient and familial, and as their lives diverge, tensions increase and dormant memories claw to the surface"--Provided by publisher.

"The reader is asked to help a bear scientist and a frog scientist test how books work in a variety of experiments, from shaking and turning the book upside down to whispering secrets and more. Includes information on the scientific method"--OCLC.

Tells the stories of ten of the most fascinating experiments in the history of science, looking at the work of Galileo, William Harvey, Isaac Newton, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, Luigi Galvani, Michael Faraday, James Joule, A.A. Michelson, Ivan Pavlov, and Robert Millikan.

"Fergus and Zeke love being the class pets in Miss Maxwell's classroom, and they do everything the students do--listening at storytime, painting masterpieces during art class, and keeping their own special journals. But when it's time for the school science fair, the mice aren't sure just how to get involved. Lucy wants to time them as they run through a maze, but they want to do an experiment, not be an experiment. Then Zeke comes up with a great idea: since Lucy is training animals for her experiment, maybe he and Fergus can do the same thing! Unfortunately, the only animals available are the students themselves. Can Fergus and Zeke turn the tables and train Lucy in time for the science fair?"--OCLC.

Libby and her friends volunteer to run the science booth at their school fair and have some great ideas, but Libby does not always follow directions precisely. Includes a worksheet for each experiment mentioned.

"Max and her friends are back and ready to take on their biggest problem yet: world hunger. While the Change Makers tackle this huge issue, Max must also avoid the evil Corp and her nemesis, Dr. Zimm. But they're not the only ones looking for Max, and as she finds herself on the run, she discovers that Einstein created a time machine. And it might give her clues to her past - her distant past..."--Provided by publisher.

"With help from her family and teacher, Holly overcomes her dislike of having sticky hands to participate in a science experiment. Includes author's note about living with autism and sensory issues and a recipe for making slime"--Publisher.

Citizen science is the public involvement in the discovery of new scientific knowledge. A citizen science project can involve one person or millions of people collaborating towards a common goal. It is an excellent option for anyone looking for ways to get involved and make a difference. The Field Guide to Citizen Science, from the expert team at SciStarter, provides everything you need to get started. You?ll learn what citizen science is, how to succeed and stay motivated when you?re participating in a project, and how the data is used. The fifty included projects, ranging from climate change to Alzheimer?s disease, endangered species to space exploration, mean sure-fire matches for your interests and time. Join the citizen science brigade now, and start making a real difference!.
