A collection of experiments that explore the nature of weather and how it is measured and examined.

Provides step-by-step instructions for a variety of projects involving the sky, and answers such questions as "Why is it blue?" and "How do clouds form?"

Sometimes criminals use forgeries in their crimes. Readers learn how to spot a fake, and hone their science skills using the scientific method. Many experiments include ideas readers can use for their science fair, and each chapter ends with a crime for readers to solve.

Do you think your readers have what it takes to be a forensic scientist? Readers will use their sleuthing skills and the scientific method to do fun science projects about fingerprints, lip prints, footprints, and more. Many experiments include ideas readers can use for their science fair, and each chapter ends with a crime for readers to solve.

Energy comes in many forms-including sound, heat, electricity, and light-and is perpetually at work all around us. As the inquisitive scientists in this book, readers will come to recognize some key characteristics of energy. Measuring the speed of sound, investigating reflection and refraction, and examining static electricity are a few of the experiments young scientists will undertake, with the help of boxed instructions and bright illustrations....

Perhaps the most successful way to truly grasp an important science concept is to see it in action. This awesome book invites readers to put on their lab coats and transform into scientists. They'll perform several simple experiments by following step-by-step instructions, accompanied by helpful images, and are encouraged to reflect on their results. By each experiment's end, they'll have discovered an essential principle of science for themselves...

Make a camera from cardboard, create stereographic images, and start a campfire with ice! These amazing science projects use readily available items and have simple step-by-step instructions. Discover the science behind each experiment. They're quick to make and fun to show your friends and family. It lets you see in color, in 3D, close up, and far away, it's light!

In a series of fun and involving hands-on astronomy experiments, kids learn how distance from the sun affects atmospheric temperature, why the Earth is called the "Blue Planet," why Jupiter's ring shines, and how to reproduce Mars' red soil and Jupiter's stormy red spot. They will also determine why radio wave receivers are curved, how radio waves are sent around the Earth via satellite, how satellites enter into orbit, and how rockets achieve escape...

In a series of fun and involving hands-on chemistry experiments, kids observe the effect of molecular motion, try to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle, demonstrate the cleaning of water by capillary action, discover how detergent causes other molecules to move, and make water appear to boil with only the touch of a finger. They will also demonstrate how salt makes it harder for water to freeze, learn how to grow salt crystals and how to produce...

In a series of fun and involving hands-on physics experiments, kids charge an object with static electricity, demonstrate how static charges produce sound, use magnetic force to suspend a paper airplane, determine that objects in water have a different weight than they do in air, and learn how a substance's buoyancy can be changed. They will also determine if shape determines the strength of an object, learn the effect that an object's center of gravity...
