These giant books of projects and experiments take a hands-on approach to science concepts. Hundreds of simple and easy experiments explore various scientific principles behind natural phenomena like friction, centrifugal force, and the underlying laws of physics that help make machines work. These fun yet practical experiments make it easy for anyone to become a rocket scientist!
Help turn on light bulbs in young minds with this fun-filled exploration of electricity and magnetism. Arranged in a logical sequence to help young learners grasp how phenomenona are related to one another. Topics like static electricity, currents, and magnetic domains have never been easier to tackle. Hands-On Science: Electricity and Magnets - by Sarah Angliss and Maggie Hewson - offers simple, step-by-step experiments that produce dramatic results, callouts with clear explanations of the scientific concept governing each experiment, scientific study has never been easier.

Sarah Angliss has worked at the Science Museum in London, England organizing exhibitions and demonstrations for children ages 6-14. She has also writen several children's books on applied and contemporary science.
Maggie Hewson has taught science to elementary and middle school children for 23 years. Her present school is the recipient of the UK's Science School of the Year award.
Grade 4-6-Four authors of science books for children have contributed 150 easy-to-follow experiments about forces and motion, sound and light, electricity and magnets, and matter and materials. Each one is designed to take from 5 to 20 minutes to put together and execute (excluding the time it takes for glue to dry). Waiting for and observing the results may take longer, for example, growing crystals. Children must be able to cut accurately with scissors, and tape and glue with precision. The experiments are carefully selected to illustrate basic concepts such as weight and gravity, push and pull, and properties of matter. Colorful computer-generated illustrations and photographs accompany each observation. Safety precautions are included at the beginning of each section and reiterated when necessary. These experiments are accessible, easy to perform, and interesting.
