About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 5-8-DiSpezio presents over 70 experiments that explore electrical charges, static electricity, currents, circuits, switches, and magnetism. Each one includes a brief introduction, a list of materials, directions, and a scientific explanation of the results. Thought-provoking questions for further investigation appear in a "Check It Out" section. The experiments are informative and, given the readily available parts and simple assembly, occasionally amazing. The author's entertaining comments make it clear that science can be fun. The black-and-white illustrations will assist students constructing buzzers, "anti-gravity disks," meters, and more. Safety reminders and suggestions for adult supervision are included. Overall, this book is similar in style and scope to Janice VanCleave's Electricity: Mind-Boggling Experiments You Can Turn into Science Fair Projects (Wiley, 1994). Budding scientists will enjoy and learn from these experiments.
