Experiments with Materials


Book Description

Chemistry has never been so fun—and so accessible—as it is in the bright pages of this invaluable volume. While following step-by-step instructions, with the aid of colorful illustrations, readers find themselves in control of their own laboratory, exploring such significant scientific topics as changing states of matter, chemical reactions, and crystal formation. Each experiment, using common materials, highlights a need-to-know concept as well as thoroughly explains what each result means. A vivid design and accessible text make this high-interest book even more inviting to future scientists.




Investigating Solids, Liquids, and Gases with TOYS


Book Description

Creative experiments using everyday materials entice students to explore firsthand the properties of the three states of matter--solid, liquid, and gas--and changes of state between them. Complete lessons include reproducible activities and thorough explanations of the science.




Experiments with Matter and Materials


Book Description

Readers will become masters of science using objects found in their everyday lives to conduct experiments with matter and materials. They are introduced to the essential concepts of matter and material, then asked to use their knowledge through age-appropriate and fun experiments. Each experiment comes with step-by-step instructions and accompanying photos, as well as helpful hints and safety reminders. A question-and-answer feature is found on every spread, and a quiz at the end of the book tests readers’ knowledge.

More of Janice VanCleave's Wild, Wacky, and Weird Chemistry Experiments


Book Description

In a series of fun and involving hands-on chemistry experiments, kids observe the effect of molecular motion, try to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle, demonstrate the cleaning of water by capillary action, discover how detergent causes other molecules to move, and make water appear to boil with only the touch of a finger. They will also demonstrate how salt makes it harder for water to freeze, learn how to grow salt crystals and how to produce an elastic material, and observe liquids that will and will not mix together. Featuring color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions, Janice VanCleave again shows just how much fun science can be.
