Creating Science Dr Joseph Ireland

Science explained so well, it's simply fun for EVERYONE! "Creating Science - Hands on science activities and experiments for everyone." Written by Dr Joseph Ireland, Brisbane's own travelling scientist, philosopher and edutainer. This book contains dozens of simple scientific experiments and activities that are tried and tested, safe and fun, for scientists age 4 to 14. We focus on using everyday equipment and recycled materials so that your science is not only fun, it will help you to be more environmentally aware as well. This book will teach you how to make green fire and indoor clouds. We help you study bugs with your very own bug catcher, explore light with colour spinners and diffraction glasses, and discover that all rainbows are actually circles. Make your own sherbet, electroplated coins, density cylinders and bubble worms. And if you're really up to the challenge, try your own homopolar motor or dizzy dancing Artbot! Learn about everything from magma to the moon, from bugs to bubbles, from questions to experiments with "Creating Science"! Through "Creating Science" we not only make science happen, we make scientists!
