Riassunto

How are mountains formed

What makes the air we breathe

What causes the ocean waves

Now kids can learn the answers to these and other questions about the earth, sea, and air through 101 fun, safe, low-cost experiments and activities that can be performed at home or in the classroom. In Earth Science for Every Kid, kids use a tennis ball and a marble to demonstrate a solar eclipse. They'll make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to understand sedimentary rock formation. And, with the assistance of a Slinky(r), they'll learn about the motion of water waves. Kids will explore the topics of rocks and minerals, crustal movement, erosion, atmosphere, weather, and more

Each of the 101 experiments begins with a statement of purpose, followed by a list of materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and a scientific explanation in terms that kids can understand. Parents will be glad to hear that every activity has been pretested and can be performed safely and inexpensively in the classroom or at home

When learning science means doing science, learning becomes an adventure
