What a wonderful world we live in - and these fifty imaginative science experiments vividly demonstrate to children's concepts of nature such as gravity, evaporation, friction, density and absorption. All you need are simple household articles to do every one of these: - All puddled up! Which puddles dry more quickly - the deep or shallow ones? - That sinking feeling! Find out what floats and what sinks, and why. - The greenhouse effect! Why do seeds sprout quicker under glass than outdoors? - Cuddle in the cold! Why does a lone animal get colder at night than a herd? - Rust before your eyes! Try out some squeaky hinge prevention of your own. - The sound of music! Make your own simple musical instruments. * Basic science principles are demonstrated: weight, buoyancy, heat and cold, chemistry, acoustics, motion, biology and ecology. * Why-oh-why? The science behind all the six-minute experiments is clearly explained with the KISS method - "Keep it simple, silly!" * In full colour: with over 150 step-by-step colour paintings by Suffolk artist Kim Whittingham.
