Let's Play Science

By Mary Stetten Carson

Fun, easy experiments that help children ages 5-8 grasp science basics--effortlessly: that's what Let's Play Science is all about. Written by an expert who teaches at one of America's most highly regarded schools, it will grab kids' attention and provide a firm foundation for future learning. Mary Stetten Carson knows what her audience likes and how they absorb information: she covers such popular topics as growing things, the human body, magnets, machines, water, and more. Each activity is explained in the simplest language, often with questions that gently guide youngsters through the scientific process. Among the entertaining experiments: playing a "touch game" with different objects; making a rainbow in a glass; and constructing a coat hanger balance.
