Mr. Wizard's Experiments for Young Scientists
Don Herbert
- Reading
- Choose one activity together, gather its listed equipment first, and take time to discuss what you notice during the steps. The directions for individual projects are not detailed here.
- Themes
- Learning science through experiments: Thirteen projects introduce different scientific fields through activities and demonstrations. The book is presented as instructional: it gives procedures and equipment for conducting experiments, not simply a list of science facts.
- Worth knowing
- The projects are practical and require equipment; the contents include making glue from milk and inflating balloons with yeast. Check each activity’s materials and directions before starting.
