Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A trio of titles kicks off David Glover's Experiments in Science series, which features one experiment per spread, with crisp photographs and plenty of white space. In How Does It Work?, for instance, school-age scientists experiment with "Electricity," "Forces and Movement," "Light and Color" and "Sound and Music." A "Parents' Notes" section at the beginning of each chapter helps adults approach the scientific principles and a quiz at the end tests children's knowledge. The other two titles are How Do Things Grow? and What Is It Made Of?

Teaching Science to Children,

This review is from: Experiments in Science: How Does it Work? (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book for teaching science to elementary age children. Subjects included in this book provide hands-on learning for the National Standards of Learning for Science. The book is divided into subject chapters (i.e. Light, Sound, etc.). Each chapter is filled with hands-on science experiments which are interesting to children. Each chapter also includes easy to understand explanations of the concept being taught. Experiments are easy to set up and use simple products usually available around your home.
