700 SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS FOR EVERYONE
COMPILED BY UNESCO
Would you like to create a cloud in a bottle? Prove that the earth spins? Run a telephone next door? Keep a thriving ant colony? Weigh the atmosphere? Make your own soap? Identify fossils? These are only a few of the more than 700 simple, safe, and exciting experiments that will help you to discover and understand many fascinating, scientific facts about the wonderful world in which we live. Some of these projects will take you no more than a single morning; others will keep you and your friends busy for months, at home or at school.
Compiled by a team of American, British, and French science instructors under the auspices of
UNESCO in Paris, this latest edition features new sections on Optical Projection, Electricity, and
Chemistry, in addition to enlarged chapters on Astronomy, Magnetism, Geology, Physiology, and many more! (continued on back flap) The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization
Each chapter offers approximately 50 related experiments, with brief, easy- to-follow instructions and clear “how- to” diagrams. This edition also tells you exactly what materials you will need for each experiment and where to get them. The materials are inexpensive and easy to find.
Many are probably in your home or garage, and the others you can get at your neighborhood market, drugstore, or hardware store.
If you are curious about how things work, why they grow, how they live, and what they are made of—in other words, if you have the same everyday curiosity that motivated such scientific pioneers as Archimedes, Galileo, Newton, and Darwin—700 SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS FOR
EVERYONE is the book for you. For these experiments will not only answer practically every question you might have on the natural and life sciences, they will teach you the scientific approach to problems you may want to solve on your own and show you the methods for solving them. Above all, you will learn
