Written by an expert teacher, this hands-on book for kids 7-12, brings "Aha!" experiences into kids' lives as they become grounded in basic science concepts, have fun discovering how science is all around them, and help build their confidence as science sleuths. The book covers aspects of earth, physical and life sciences--dovetailing with the school science curriculum--as kids tackle various activities to satisfy their natural curiosity. Easy-to-do experiments are clearly laid out, requiring readily available materials, and accompanied by full-color step-by-step illustrations, making science come alive in the home. Sidebars or wrap copy extend the hands-on approach to include answers to questions kids often ask about the subject matter: "Why is the sky blue?" might accompany a light refraction activity, for example. "What causes volcanoes to erupt?" would be paired with a "make a volcano" experiment. Interesting facts, "Top 5s" and "Did You Knows" are sprinkled throughout the book. A special bonus section gives kids (and their parental science partners) suggestions, tips and ideas to excel at school science fairs, as well as a model for the scientific inquiry method of observing, questioning, hypothesizing, experimenting and concluding--the exact process that scientists use in their work. The book will be co-branded with Mad Science--the world's leading science enrichment provider. They offer unique, hands-on science experiences for children that are as entertaining as they are educational. Mad Science is a global consumer brand with a strong connection to its customers. Their North American franchisees deliver over 200,000 presentations a year, and reach over 4.8 million children and their families.
