The McGraw-Hill Big Book of Science Activities

The book was written to open the door to, and invite your students into, the World of Science.


There they can explore, think and wonder - and find out that anyone can experiment and learn; that the only thing you truly need to study science is an inquiring mind; and that science is all around us, all you have to do is look!


This wonderful book features more than 250 kid-tested experiments covering geography, chemistry, meteorology, geology, animal biology, plant biology and engineering.


Simple experiments and activities show students how to build a mountain to demonstrate contour lines, observe how heat makes chemicals change; use Epsom salt to form stalactites and stalagmites, measure the weight of the atmosphere, start an ant colony, build a two-ring paper airplane and more!


Also includes information on science fair projects. Ages 8-12. Glossary index, 491 pp., softcover.
