Janice VanCleave's Wild, Wacky, and Weird Chemistry Experiments (Janice VanCleave's Wild, Wacky, and Weird Science Experiment)

In a series of fun and involving hands-on chemistry experiments, kids observe the effect of molecular motion, try to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle, demonstrate the cleaning of water by capillary action, discover how detergent causes other molecules to move, and make water appear to boil with only the touch of a finger. They will also demonstrate how salt makes it harder for water to freeze, learn how to grow salt crystals and how to produce an elastic material, and observe liquids that will and will not mix together. Featuring color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions, Janice VanCleave again shows just how much fun science can be. In a series of fun and involving hands-on chemistry experiments, kids learn why water beads on some surfaces, why some materials get wetter than others, how gas fills an open container, why bubbles escape from a glass of soda, how stains are cleaned by enzymes in detergents, and why milk curdles. They will also determine and demonstrate how yeast produces carbon dioxide, what role vinegar plays in the dyeing of eggs, and how water can rise up a paper towel held vertically. Featuring color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions, Janice VanCleave again shows just how much fun science can be In A Series Of Fun And Involving Hands-on Astronomy Experiments, Kids Learn How Space Acts As A Heat Shield, What Causes Saturns Rings, Why Both Earth And Mars Have Cold Poles, How To Make A Star Projector, And Why The Moon Shines. They Will Also Determine And Demonstrate How The Thickness Of The Atmosphere Affects How Light Is Bent, How To Simulate Solar And Lunar Eclipses, And How To Aim A Spacecraft To The Moon.
