Synopsis

Paper is one of the simplest, versatile, available and least expensive materials known to humankind. Although most commonly used for writing, packaging, and wrapping, it is also perfect for doing science experiments. Humans have used paper or paper-like substances for thousands of years. The word paper comes from the word papyrus, a plant from which the ancient Egyptians produced a material like paper to write upon. Nowadays, wood pulp from trees is the usual source of paper fibers. To make paper, these fibers are mixed with a large amount of water. Small amounts of additives such as glue and clay are mixed in, and water is removed through wire screens. The paper fibers deposited on the screens are dried, smoothed, and cut to give many types, thicknesses, and sizes of paper. In this book, you will learn how to do 100 exciting science experiments with paper. Experiments are organized into these categories: air, balancing, chemistry, electricity and magnetism, flying things, heat, light, motion and inertia, noise- and sound-makers, topology, water, and other experiments. This book is easy enough for children to do, but can be enjoyed by other people as well. The experiments in 100 Simple Science Experiments with Paper are fun, easy, and safe to do, and can be performed using materials and equipment commonly found around the house. Teachers, parents, and children alike will delight in discovering the many ways in which paper can be used to learn and enjoy science at home and in the classroom.
