Janice VanCleave's Wild, Wacky, and Weird Science Experiments: Sets 1 – 4
The renowned science educator Janice VanCleave returns
with her wild series of wacky and weird science experiments that both educate
and entertain. This is another surefire collection of fun-filled, hands-on
activities that teach the principles of astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth
science, and physics in the most entertaining and tactile way imaginable.
Readers drip liquid mud to show how craters form on the moon, use toothpaste to
simulate a shield volcano, and make their own “flubber” with water, borax, and
glue. Readers determine whether or not dinosaurs laid eggs in open nests, learn
how toothed whales “see” with their ears, create a Foucault pendulum, produce a
3D model of a mountain, and simulate the weightlessness of outer space. Each of
the dozens of experiments includes full color illustrations and safe, simple,
step-by-step instructions.
