More of Janice Vancleave's Wild, Wacky, and Weird Biology Experiments (Janice Vancleave's Wild, Wacky, and Weird Science Experiments)

"In a series of fun and involving hands-on biology experiments, kids observe the effect of osmosis on a raisin, demonstrate how leaves and stems can act like a straw, determine which side of a plant leaf takes in gases, demonstrate the loss of moisture from leaves, and discover the effects of gravity on plant growth. They will also determine the direction of winding plants, how shade affects plant growth, how plants grow toward light, and the effect of temperature on seed growth. Featuring color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions, Janice VanCleave again shows just how much fun science can be"--The publisher's web site Provides science experiments that can be done at home that explain such biology concepts as how gravity affects plant growth, if your mind can turn sound into a mental picture, and how the brain gets messages from the skin
