You can read all the books on music and guitars in the world, but that won't make you a great guitar player. You have to actually practise with a guitar to get it right! It is easiest to figure things out by getting your hands 'dirty' by doing! Science works exactly the same way. Yes, you can learn a lot in science class or by doing homework, but there's nothing quite as much fun as learning by getting your hands dirty doing some science experiments! Specially chosen to appeal to kids in grade 1 & 2, each experiment answers a particular question about a specific category of science and includes an introduction, list of the materials you need, easy-to-follow steps, an explanation of what the experiment demonstrates as well as a learn more and science glossary section! Each of these easy-to-understand sections helps explain the underlying scientific concepts to kids and will inspire them to create their own related experiments and aid in developing an inquisitive mind. Amongst many others, you will lift water in a glass by the weight of the air to understand how air pressure works, construct a Paper Plane to see how objects fly, make your own rock tumbler to experiment with geology, and make magnets float on top of each other to learn about the attraction & repulsion forces of magnetism! Other fun experiments include using glue to make rubber, making your own lava lamp with oil and water, mixing lemon juice and baking soda to make an endothermic reaction, finding out why the sky is blue, studying the force of gravity, making ordinary steel objects magnetic, learning how osmosis work, mummifying an orange, studying what happens to a bone when it loses its proteins, learning how to tell whether a turtle is male or female, testing the best conductors of sound, finding out how a siphon works and many, many more! The 60 projects contained in this science experiment e-book cover a wide range of scientific topics; from Chemistry and Electricity to Life Sciences and Physics... there are even experiments on earth science, astronomy and geology all designed for young students from grade 1 to 2! With this book, you are sure to find a project that interests you. When you are interested in a certain science topic, you will have more fun, and learn more, too! Science can be real simple and is actually only about understanding the world you live in! Science certainly does not need to be complicated formulas, heavy text books and geeky guys in white lab coats with thick glasses. Science experiments are an awesome part of science that allows you to engage in cool and exciting hands on learning experiences that you are sure to enjoy and remember! By working through the science experiments in this book, you will learn about science in the best possible way – by doing things yourself. Designed with safety in mind, most of the items you will need for the experiments, such as jars, aluminium foil, scissors and sticky tape, you can find around your home. Others, such as magnets, lenses or a compass, you will be able to buy quite cheaply at a hobby shop or hardware store.
