Jill Frankel Hauser - Author
A lively, practical introduction to investigating science through homemade mixtures. Its main appeal is doing: children explore observable changes while encountering scientific vocabulary and ideas such as density, emulsions and polymers.
Fizz, gurgle, bubble, and brew! Hours of outrageous science fun await kids with Jill Hauser's incredible science concoctions. Kids explore a world of amazing science -- from capillary action to liquid density to emulsions to plastics -- all while making magical mixtures they concoct themselves! Over 50 safe, inexpensive science mixtures, using household ingredients, encourage kids to discover and think creatively. Explore density with hovering veggies, explode colors in milk to learn about molecular movement, and cross-link polymers to make plastic blobber. Concoct sticky water, gooblek, jigglin' gelatin worms, lava, liquid lasagna, and creepy water ghosts. Plus learn The Principle of the Thing, Science Speak (terminology), More to Explore, Super Fun! (beyond science), Let's Get Practical (applied science). Simple experiments with spectacular results make the wonder of science accessible to every child. - Back cover.
