Did you know that you can make plastic, snow, and even a lava lamp in less than 30 minutes? Clear, step-by-step instructions guide readers through the science projects, and Science Takeaway sidebars explain the chemistry behind these creations.

A fully illustrated lab manual containing 150 science experiments that can be performed with ordinary household substances. Contains 10 chapters on the following subjects: density, air pressure, surface tension, phases of matter, chemical reactions, combustion, acids/bases, polymers, and light.

Bubble, pop, fizz! These chemical reaction projects will take your makerspace to the next level. Teach kids science basics and then build on them. Learn why chemical reactions happen, and how to make and take them to the next level. Bonus video tutorials and other content available on the free Capstone 4D app gives students an augmented reality experience that goes beyond the printed page.

With this book, students are able to perform experiments and then make observations that they will frequently see in the kitchen and other food preparation and processing areas and learn the science behind these phenomena. The second edition features new chapters on food hygiene and safety, kitchen terminology, and taste pairing.

Provides hands-on chemistry experiments, where kids learn how and why a volcano erupts, why there are holes in bread slices, why pennies turn green, how to separate milk into its solid and liquid parts, and how to grow fluffy white crystals. They will also determine and demonstrate how air is cleaned by absorbent chemicals, how to change hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen with the help of a potato, and how and why evaporation takes away heat.

The world is full of chemists, from flavor scientists in the food industry to researchers formulating new building materials. After reading about the types of jobs chemists have, students begin experimenting with hands-on activities. Scientific drawings illustrate experimental setups, safety guidelines keep kids safe, and great ideas for science fair projects after many experiments encourage original scientific thinking.

These experiments use easy-to-obtain household materials and are excellent starting points for students to devise their own science fair projects. Readers are guided through applying the scientific method to conduct experiments, such as examining Brownian motion of smoke particles, building an electric cell, and separating substances in a solution. Through clear instructions and scientific illustrations, students will gain a better understanding of the basic concepts demonstrated by each experiment. This book also contains safety tips to educate students on the code of conduct expected when conducting experiments, an appendix listing science supply companies, a glossary, further reading with books and websites, and an index.

Children are born chemists. They love to feel, taste, and explore. This book appeals to that natural curiosity, in a variety of activities with materials found in the home. In the process of doing these activities, readers will learn about atoms, molecules, crystals, elements, compounds, saturation, and other chemical concepts.

This step-by-step guide explores 30 different topics and offers dozens of experiment ideas. The book also includes charts, diagrams, and illustrations. A few of the topics covered are: Acid/base reactions; Polymers; Crystals; Electrolytes; Denaturing proteins.

Soap scum, brown bananas, clumping milk, and swollen gummi bears are a few of the crazy, kooky, and quirky components of these chemistry experiments. Readers will learn about principles of chemistry using items they have at home, including hydration, oxidation, expansion, viscosity, and more. Following safe, step-by-step instructions, students will perform each of these twenty-four experiments and gain real, demonstrable knowledge in the field of chemistry.

Turn an old LED flashlight into an Energy Drink Tester using aluminum foil and electrical tape, mix cornstarch and water to make Non-Newtonian Goo, use a 9-volt battery and thumbtacks to break water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, create edible Sweet Crystals from a saturated sugar solution, or construct your own Three-Penny Battery from galvanized washers, pennies, vinegar, and scrap cardboard. Each project has a materials list, detailed instructions with illustrations, and a brief explanation of the scientific principle being demonstrated--atoms, compounds, solutions, mixtures, reactions, thermodynamics, acids and bases, and more.

Wile E. Coyote is on a mission to finally catch Road Runner. Watch as he uses chemical reactions to help him achieve his goal. Will these experiments help Wile E. catch that bird?

Kids learn how to measure the volume of melted snow, determine the weight of water, and demonstrate the effect that cold temperatures have on air density. They will also demonstrate how the density of different liquids varies, construct a hydrometer, demonstrate the cohesive force of water, and show how a chemical reaction can create heat. Featuring color illustrations and safe and simple instructions.

Can we decode a message written in invisible ink? Will an ice cube melt faster in air or in water? How can water defy the laws of gravity? The experiments in this book will help readers study the world the way actual scientists do using their own kitchen as a laboratory. If they are searching for a science project topic, they will find many ideas inside.

Curious kids will learn about liquid density by making layered popsicles, simulate how earthquakes affect buildings on different kinds of foundations using Jell-O and brownies and give their engineering skills a go by building bridges out of egg shells. Each experiment investigates and explains a different scientific principle using ingredients found in your kitchen.

Engage students with chemical reaction science experiments and activities hosted by Super Scientist Max Axiom. This collection of kid friendly science projects includes clear step by step, photo-illustrated instructions. Curriculum content covered includes endothermic reactions, exothermic reactions, combustion, and more.

Labcraft Wizards provides dozens of projects to transform everyday objects into instruments of magic, such as a sculpted magic wand, gooey ogre snot, bouncy dragon eggs, edible brewed slugs, an enchanted hourglass, and more! Through its creative activities, Labcraft Wizards encourages scientific observation and helps eager minds explore basic concepts in chemistry and physics through experimentation.
