Description
The world around us is a source of incredible wonder and amazement to children. My Giant Book of Science Projects will reveal and explain how things work, and will respond to youngsters' first questions. It encourages readers to carry out their own practical experiments, instilling real understanding and the excitement and enthusiasm that will carry them into more 'serious' science in the future.
See how the wind moves a homemade sailboat, how you can hold a glass of water upside down without spilling it, and how to simulate a volcanic eruption with a simple chemical reaction! This is the perfect starter book for ages 3 to 7—for older readers to use with minimum supervision, or for younger ones to enjoy with adult help.
