The How and Why Wonder Book of Science Experiments

The How and Why Wonder Books of Science Experiments provides suggested investigations in three important areas of exploration – air and water, sound, and astronomy. By making these investigations, each young explorer will be rediscovering some of the principles of science. This book shows that the study of different things in the world may require different techniques and tools – vibrating strings to study sound waves, scales and thermometers to study air and water, telescopes and field glasses to study the stars. But they all require some of the same habits of careful investigation, such as keen observation, good thinking, accurate record keeping and painstaking experimentation. Thus, The How and Why Wonder Books of Science Experiments will be a helpful guide to assist young scientists at home and at school to explore interesting phases of knowledge. It will help them to develop skills of investigation through using the methods of discovery that experienced scientists use.
