Let's Celebrate!

What better way to celebrate the holidays than by doing themed activities! From baking cornbread for New Year's to creating a ghostly illusion for Halloween, the experiments and projects in this book are a great way for students to take science concepts from the classroom into their everyday lives. Each of the 10 projects includes a Background section to explain the science topic at work, materials, clear step-by-step instructions, and an Observations section helping young scientists understand what they've done. Several projects include science fair ideas and expanded versions of the experiment to engage readers further. A discussion of the scientific method and helpful glossary conclude the book.
