Synopsis

Offering a new variety of science projects for kids to try, More Simple Science Fair Projects provides another resource for more experiment ideas not covered in Simple Science Fair Projects. Upper-elementary students will find everything they need to design experiments that demonstrate the physics of sound, electromagnetism, and motion, to name a few. Tocci uses everyday objects, such as kitchen utensils, doorbells, familiar critters, and readily available substances--air and water--to create simple science fair projects for upper-elementary kids. Tocci's step-by-step instructions enable kids to create their own independent science fair projects. Subjects covered include: *Buoyancy *Chemical reactions *Electricity *Gravity *Heat and temperature *Magnetism *Osmosis *Simple machines *Solar energy *Solids, liquids, and gases.
