Remove the shell of an egg without cracking it! Make a coin disappear right before your very eyes! Make raisins dance! Sounds like magic, but really it's just "Science Fun".
The acclaimed scientist of everyday fun, Dr. Zed presents a wonderful collection of easy-to-do experiments that yield amazing results. "Science Fun" introduces many basic scientific principles like density, static electricity and refraction of light. From learning how we see color and what makes your hair stand on end, to creating a tornado in a jar or making a propeller driven boat for the bathtub -- everyday materials and simple directions combine to help young children discover the fascinating ways science affects the world.
Experiments are arranged into special sections by topic: the human body, nature, scientific constants and change. Kid-friendly introductions prepare the reader for the activities to come. Extensive notes outline the science behind the experiments and an index rounds out this book, making it a full and diverse exploration of science that is both fun and educational.
"Science Fun" includes material from the best-selling books Dr. Zed's Science Surprises and More Science Surprises from Dr. Zed, as well as new activities and information to bring the fun of science up to date. Humorous illustrations accompany full-color photos on each spread.
