Children are introduced to quick and easy science experiences
which are amazing, exciting, and intellectually stimulating.
This book ventures into all three areas of science study: life
(e.g., growth, food chains, and habitats), earth (e.g., air, soil,
and water), and physical (e.g., matter, light, and force).
Each experience has been designed to be quick and easy. With
only minor or no preparation required, children are introduced
to science experiences which are amazing, exciting, and intellectually
stimulating.
Experiment with air pressure, homemade chemicals, gravity, and
water to discover principles of physical science.
Investigate Earth by learning how a volcano erupts, how rocks
become smooth, and what is in the air we breathe.
Examine the basis of life, why plants grow toward the sun, and
how fish swim underwater.
Simple Science Fun begins to teach children the value
of decision-making, which will become a necessary skill as they
grow.
