Science Made Easy.

This is a great book containing eleven simple science experiments using mostly common, everyday items that can be found in most homes. The experiments are fun to perform and clearly illustrate and explain such ideas as centrifugal force, momentum, photosynthesis, and air pressure. Spaced between the various experiments are two page lessons describing real life scientific surprises such as Dr. Alexander Fleming's accidental discovery of penicillin. I used this book for experiments with my preschoolers and they really enjoyed it. It also works as a great gift for an elementary student who shows an interest in science.
