FUN-damental Experiments
Young children are naturally interested in everything they see around them--so what better way to introduce them to fundamental science concepts than by getting them to have fun with water, dirt, colors, and things that move? This latest series in Bearport Publishing's critically acclaimed Science Slam! program gives young readers the opportunity to conduct real experiments and investigations with only minimal assistance from adults. Each title includes at least seven fun experiments that take young readers step-by-step from an intriguing question, through an investigation, and finally to drawing their own scientific conclusions. As with all the books in Bearport's Science Slam program, each title in this series features visually dynamic layouts and images that will have budding young scientists lining up to start experimenting!
