Collection of 201 Science Investigations

By Janice VanCleave

This collection of science experiments gives you a taste of all the different science disciplines: Astronomy, Chemistry, Biology, Earth Science and Physics.

201 Awesome, Magical, Bizarre and Incredible Experiments

Why is Venus so hot?
What makes a sound loud or soft?
How do honeybees find their way home?
How can you measure the speed of the wind?

Discover the awesome answers to these and other fascinating mysteries in biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and astronomy. Just try these 201 fun, safe, low-cost experiments at home or in the classroom. You’ll look through a drop of water to find out how a magnifying lens works. Using a Styrofoam ball, a pencil, and a lamp, you’ll learn why the Moon appears and disappears. With just a jar and some ice cubes, you can demonstrate how rain is formed. Each experiment includes an illustration and easy to follow step-by-step instructions. This companion volume to the enormously popular 200 Gooey, Slippery, Slimy, Weird, and Fun Experiments brings together magical projects from Janice VanCleave’s Science for Every Kid and Spectacular Science Projects series–plus 40 all-new experiments that make science come to life. Children Ages 8-12.
