Each activity has a list of the ordinary household materials required, illustrated directions, and reasons behind the result. Grades 3–6. Index. Bibliography. 8" x 10½".

A Must Have!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Showy Science (Paperback)
Showy Science is a wonderful book and is a must have for any science classroom. The science experiments are fun, authentic, and exciting. As a frequent buyer of science books for children, this is the best science book I've ever bought. Showy Science is a must have for any science lover, or to anyone who wants to teach children the joys of science. The author took complex science experiments and made them easy for teachers to teach and for children to learn. The experiments are also very affordable and uses everyday houshold products to teach the lessons. You can't go wrong with this book.
