How Does It Work?

An Experiments in Science book

"Hands-on experiments that make science fun"

Ages 5 & up - great for the whole family!

DK Publishing (Hardcover)

 

Join characters Chip and Newton, to find out how things work. For instance:

• How do switches make carnivals fun?
• How do batteries work?
• What is a "force"?
• What makes an object sound high-pitched or low-pitched?
• What makes a kite fly?
• Can sunlight bounce?
• How are echoes made?

This book supports the science taught in schools today. It's written by an experienced teacher, David Glover, who is "committed to making science accessible, fun, and relevant for children."

Divided into four main sections, it includes 40 fantastic experiments for curious kids under the headings of Electricity, Forces and Movement, Light and Color, and Sound and Music.  Titles include:

• Mixing Colors
• Lamps and Light
• Striking Sounds
• Push and Pull
• Wind Force
• Simple Circuit
• Sound the Alarm
• Starting Force

Parents' Notes begin each section, and "It's Quiz Time!" close out the series of experiments. Although these experiments are geared for ages 5 & up, it's an educational, fun collection that would make a great time for family involvement. Materials needed are not hard to find, and most households have them readily available.

 

Explore the wonderful world of science and find out how things work - together!
