Learning about the states of matter is a crucial part of any physical science curriculum. In this title, readers learn about the states-but also make slime, race marbles, and find out how heavy air is! Each fun experiment or activity begins with an explanation of the science concept being shown in the project. Clear step-by-step instructions guide readers through the set up and execution of the experiment. Most projects also include additional ideas to expand on the project, and some are marked as a great place to start work on a science fair project.

The human body is amazing! There are so many things to learn about it: How strong is hair? Does step length correlate with height? What does handedness mean? In this title presented by Scientific American, young scientists test these questions, among many others. Each experiment begins with an introduction to the scientific concept that will be tested. Then, materials, set up, and execution are clearly explained, as well as questions to ask along the way to think about what the experiment shows about human biology. Science fair ideas and other learning extension ideas are included in many projects too.
