What's the effect of osmosis on a raisin? How is water transported through plant stems? What's the best way to grow penicillin? How are butterflies different from moths? Now you can discover answers to these and other fascinatingquestions about biologythe study of living organisms. In Biologyfor Every Kid, you'll learn how to talk with fireflies, watchbacteria wage war in a glass of milk, discover how to tell thetemperature by counting cricket chirps, and find out how an appleand an onion can taste the same. Each of the 101 experiments is broken down into its purpose, a listof materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and aneasy to understand explanation. Every activity has been pretestedand can be performed safely and inexpensively in the classroom orat home.

„Warum tut Haare schneiden nicht weh?“, „Wieso schrumpelt meine Haut beim Baden?“, „Und wie groß ist überhaupt mein Herz?“ - Fragen über Fragen. Wenn Kinder die Welt entdecken, kommen Erwachsene schon mal in Erklärungsnöte. Bei diesen Experimenten ist Neugierde ausdrücklich erwünscht. Die Fragen der Kinder sind der Anstoß, den eigenen Körper einmal ganz genau unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Einfache Versuche geben auf kindgerechte Weise die Antworten. Die Kinder legen Hühnerknochen in Essig ein, bauen eine „künstliche Lunge“ aus Flaschen und Luftballons und basteln eine „Wirbelsäule“ aus Garnrollen. Solche und andere einfallsreiche Hilfsmittel erklären die Funktionen des Körpers schon für die Jüngsten einleuchtend und nachvollziehbar. Mit diesem Buch erwecken Sie den Forscher-Drang Ihrer Kinder - Es ist einen Versuch wert.

Instructions for experiments, each introducing a different chemistry concept and demonstrating that chemistry is a part of our everyday life.

The perfect science fair idea books. Spectacular Science ProjectsJanice VanCleave's Molecules* What are molecules made of?* How do water molecules stay together?* How does heat affect the movement of molecules?Janice VanCleave's Molecules includes 20 simple and fun experimentsthat allow you to discover the answers to these and otherfascinating questions about molecules, plus dozens of additionalsuggestions for developing your own science fair projects. Learnabout the structure of molecules with a simple experiment using gumdrops and toothpicks; about molecular motion with a glass, a cup,and food coloring; about crystals using Epsom salts, a soap dish,and a paint brush; and much more. All experiments use inexpensivehousehold materials and involve a minimum of preparation and cleanup.
