Describes the stages in the exploration of space from the earliest rockets, the shuttle, and space stations to exploring the moon, Mars, and beyond

I Love Dirt! presents 52 open-ended activities to help you engage your child in the outdoors. No matter what your location—from a small patch of green in the city to the wide-open meadows of the country—each activity is meant to promote exploration, stimulate imagination, and heighten a child's sense of wonder.

A collection of science projects and experiments using magnets

Taking readers inside the human body to see how things fit and work together, an exciting reference book is packed with fascinating facts that make basic anatomy accessible and fun.

Includes instructions for and explanations of experiments that introduce such topics as elasticity, tessellation, fibers, and bridges

From ants to zits, this reference guide to the gasiest, slimiest, most noxious things on earth is backed with loads of scientific research, photographs, and cartoons to explain all the gross things around us. Original.

Takes readers on a trip through the human body, with die-cut holes in each page giving a view of each organ and its function.

Suggests simple experiments that demonstrate facts about chemical reactions, energy, motion, light, sound, air, water, magnetism, electricity, electronics, and computers

Discusses the frequency of earthquakes, why they happen, their geography, and what a person should do if caught in the middle of one

Mmmmm, science! Irresistibly packaged inside a potato chip bag, Potato Chip Science is the wildly imaginative book and kit that introduces more than 30 experiments using potato chips, potatoes, and chip bags, tubes, and lids. Like Pop Bottle Science and the Hand in Hand with Nature series, it marries the fun of creative (and completely safe) activities with lessons drawn from the worlds of ecology and forensics, biology and bird-watching, acoustics, aeronautics, animation, and more. Make a chip can gobble like a turkey. Ready and fire the pocket-size potato propulsion pipe. Build a balloon-powered chip train. Hook up a working digital clock to the mysterious potato "battery." Create a shrunken potato head. Set off the bag blaster—and when the weather's right, go fly a chip bag kite. The book is filled with experiments, interesting modifications, and scientific principles. In addition, more than a dozen items used in the "snacktivities" are packaged in the bag—the digital clock, a 100 percent biodegradable child-friendly lab knife, caliper gauge, googly eyes, magnet, fingerprint brush, and more. Remember: When it comes to Potato Chip Science experiments, nobody can test just one!
