Cool Experiments with Heat and Cold by
Reading about heat and cold is just the tip of the iceberg. This book lets readers create their own icebergs. Hands-on activities make learning about heat and cold both tangible and fun. Simple explanations help readers grasp complex concepts while step-by-step instructions and accompanying photographs ensure they will master each experiment. Helpful tips keep readers safe and offer suggestions for improvements! Aspiring young scientists will enjoy trying the recommended additions and twists to activities. They'll also learn real-life applications for the same scientific principles they're working with at home, such as how air pockets in igloos work as insulation!
Play It Cool: 10 Fun Experiments about Temperature by
Can you make a homemade thermometer? Do rubber bands behave differently at different temperatures? What's needed to make your own cooler? The answers to these questions--and many more having to do with temperature--are found through experimentation in this title presented by Scientific American. Each project presents the scientific background of the concept explored and then offers clear step-by-step instructions to complete the experiment or activity. Most projects have additional questions or ideas that allow readers to expand the project, including some that are a great way to start a science fair project.
