Simple Science Experiments

Air and water are everywhere, playing a crucial role in human survival, and the survival of most of the planet. For a young scientist, understanding these integral parts of our world is the first step to understanding larger scientific concepts. From a hands-on approach to water surface tension to understanding air pressure, young readers will discover how both air and water work. Instructions and informative fact boxes help young readers to effectively set up their own experiments and record their findings.

Everything is made out of matter, but what is matter? Both matter and materials are important scientific building blocks, and understanding what they are exactly can be a difficult concept to grasp. Through this book's simple science experiments, young readers will learn about different states of matter and the particles that make up everything in the world around them. This book's easy-to-follow directions will help readers set up their experiments and guide them through their process, all while helping them understand this important scientific theory.

Light and sound both travel in waves, but sound waves travel significantly slower than light. Theories like this are difficult to grasp in words, but there are easy ways to see them in action. With this book's simple experiments, young scientists will test out how light can bend and how even invisible sounds can make things move, helping them understand how even the most complex theories work. Through step-by-step instructions, young readers will learn the right way to set up their experiments and expand on concepts they already know.

With electronic devices in nearly every home, electrical and magnetic currents are a common part of everyday life. Understanding how these concepts work in a safe and practical way is an important part of every young scientist's journey. Through this volume's simple, hands-on experiments, young scientists will get a good look at both in action, encouraging their understanding of these complex forces. With experiments on static electricity and magnetic attraction, young readers will dive right into the step-by-step instructions while learning important scientific lessons.
