The Scientist in Your Cupboard

By Carole O'Brien

Science experiments are the most interesting activities with which to engage kids. If you've been frustrated by unsuccessful searches for fun and inexpensive science experiments, then this is the book for you. It offers educators and parents a variety of hands-on science experiments that will make children say "WOW!" The Scientist in Your Cupboard is designed to: ? give you some concrete simple experiments to use with children to instill a love of exploration, observation and inquiry. This will naturally lead them to questioning and a desire to know more. ? provide you with easy to follow instructions that can help you teach children interesting science concepts by experimenting with simple materials that react in amazing ways. ? include experiments that use basic ingredients found around your house. ? offer you fun experiments kids will want to see over and over again. Children will make new connections each time they do the experiment. Soon "mystery and magic" will gradually become "reality and knowledge." ? give you some information on how to introduce the scientific method. I included a basic introduction to the scientific method although not all science has to include the scientific method. In fact many of our most famous scientific discoveries were accidents or simply discoveries that led to new knowledge.
