Make a foundation from a can and learn about water pressure. Float a glass in water and learn the principle of displacement (discovered by Greek mathematicians Archimedes). heat an egg in hot water and actually see evidence of the molecules escaping through the shell. Drop marbles into a glass of water and prove that two forms of matter cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Use a straw to demonstrate air pressure. Make a parachute to understand a law of physics. Amaze your friends by sticking pins in an inflated balloon without popping it, and then conduct an experiment to show them why 1 plus 1 does not equal 2.
In 365 more Simple Science Experiments, you'll know exactly what to do, what happens and why. So whether it's understanding gravity, becoming a kitchen alchemist, designing a rocket, or telling time by the sun, the moon, or the stars, you'll see that being a scientist doesn't just make the world a better place - it's also great fun. Following are just a few of the fascinating experiments you'll find inside:
- Launch your own astronauts
- Catching sound
- Musical nails
- Pendulum sand painting
- Maple snow sugar
- Milking a potato
- How to make vinegar
- Poached egg physics
- Crazy cave icicles
- The amazing humm-o-comb
- Find the center of gravity
- A gyroscope in your pocket
Just like any real scientist, you'll learn by conducting experiments and observing the results, and though there are enough projects to last all year, the knowledge you gain will last a lifetime.
- Inexpensive and easy to find materials
- Brief instructions
- Thoroughly tested experiments
