Publisher's Note Spark scientific curiosity with easy-to-find materials. Colorfully demonstrate why things stay cold or hot, how energy flows, why things accelerate, and how sound travels. With these great science fair experiments budding scientists can have a "swinging good time" testing pendulums; measure the momentum of a dropping ball; check if water affects a magnetic field; store solar heat; move heavy objects easily with the help of a lever; and much more.
Industry Reviews "...60 environmental science projects that can be performed by intermediate grade students. Activities range from simple (observing evidence of wild animals) to complex (comparing rates of decomposition of chicken bones) and include projects related to biology, weather, physics, botany, chemistry, behavior, and consumerism. Materials (most of which should be readily available in the home or classroom) are clearly identified, and simple black-and-white drawings illustrate the salient points of each experiment....Interesting demonstrations that can be useful for elementary science classes." Rather
"Gr. 3-5...appropriate for students to use on their own (with adult supervision) or for parents to use with younger children. Filling an ever-present need, it is a good addition to science collections." Rather
