365 Simple Science Experiments with Everyday Materials

<< Prev page

Richard Churchill, Louis Loeschnig Muriel Mandell
Illustrated by Frances Zweifel

I'm firmly convinced that with a book like this and a little direction, my childhood scientific curiosity would have gone over a lot better. Maybe it was the aluminum-in-the-microwave incident that pushed my poor mother over the edge (best bolt of lightning I've ever seen!!!). So for all the kids out there (and their nervous parents!) who have a curious nature and are itching to use it, this book is for you.

With one experiment for every day of the year, this book provides step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions for learning basic science and having fun at the same time. Starting out with simple, ordinary materials—drinking straws, lemons, soap, etc.—the authors ease kids into the science of our everyday world. Want to learn how to make electricity from a lemon? Bounce a raw egg like a rubber ball? Make paper? How about taking a photo with a shoebox, some black paint, and a piece of wax paper?

There are loads of experiments, ''tricks,'' and projects that explore the basics of chemical reactions, photosynthesis, the weather, ecology, the solar system, and more. Most of the materials called for are common household items (a few can be found at the hardware store), but the biggest requirement is having the curiosity to give it a go and find out the ''why,'' or underlying principles, of each experiment. Take it from a former child mad scientist, get this book early on—you'll be glad you did.

(Ages: 6 and up)

Canadian Shipping:
We ship all Canadian orders by air. Payment must be in U.S. funds. The order recipient will be responsible for any duty/custom charges when the package arrives in Canada. Air mail rates: Add 15% of your subtotal, with a $7.95 minimum charge.

International Shipping:

We hope to offer you international ordering online soon. In the meantime, you may call 619-670-5200, fax 619-670-5203, or email us at customerservice@chinaberry.net with your order to find out what your shipping charge would be. If you are having your order shipped internationally, UPS requires that you include a phone number for them to contact for delivery information.

We ship international orders (except Canadian) via Air Express only. While this ensures your order will arrive very quickly (within one week), it is also very expensive. (Shipping generally begins at about $65.00 for a one pound package and goes up with weight.)

As an affordable alternative, many of our international customers have their orders shipped to a friend or relative in the U.S who will forward the orders on to them.
