experiments

Text provides recipes on how to make magnetic slime by adding iron oxide powder, along with tips for making scientific observations during the creation process.

An introduction to heat that uses experiments and easy-to-follow text to help readers understand the principles of heat, how it is made, how different kinds of matter conduct heat, and other related topics.

An introduction to magnetism that explains what it is, what materials are magnetic, how magnets work, what magnetic poles are, and what the different types of magnets are.

Little crafters will become little scientists as they explore, experiment, make, and create their way through every STEAM project.--.

"Water molecules are amazing--and so is just plain water! In this book, young scientists investigate how water droplets can magnify, the magic of surface tension, and the effects of adding salt to water when potatoes are in it! Each of the ten projects . . . explain[s] the science topic at work, materials, clear step-by-step instructions, and an observations section helping young scientists understand what they've done. Several projects include science fair ideas and expanded versions of the experiment to engage readers further. [Includes a] discussion of the scientific method"--Provided by publisher.

"What better way to celebrate the holidays than by doing themed activities! From baking cornbread for New Year's to creating a ghostly illusion for Halloween, the experiments and projects in this book are a great way for students to take science concepts from the classroom into their everyday lives. Each of the [ten] projects includes a background section to explain the science topic at work, materials, clear step-by-step instructions, and an observations section helping young scientists understand what they've done. Several projects include science fair ideas and expanded versions of the experiment to engage readers further"--Provided by publisher.

"From static electricity to wind, there is energy all around us! In this book, young scientists can learn more about creating electricity using a lemon, how to block radio waves, and more, through each of the ten projects.
