Within this book are 52 labs for outdoor lovers that can get kids exploring in every season. Each lab has a clear step by step photo illustrated set of instructions to help kids learn about physics, centripetal forces, germination and so much more! From growing baking soda stalagmites and stalactites to demonstrate surface tension and capillary action to constructing a marshmallow catapult to show the laws of physics, these experiments definitely will not disappoint. Helpful tips show how kids can keep a science journal as well as suggestions to take experiments to the next level.
The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even how to create your own circus—all authored by established experts in their fields.
Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels.
