Electricity: Mind-boggling Experiments you can turn into Science Fair Projects!

We use electricity every day to do almost everything. But if someone asked you what electricity is, could you tell them? After your young scientist get done with this book, they'll be able to tell you! How do you make a battery out of a lemon? Does electric current flow through water? Does the thickness of a wire affect the flow of electric current? Can electricity create a magnet and how does an electric current affect a compass?

Not only are there dozens of suggestions for developing your own science fair project, but Janice VanCleave's Electricity includes 20 simple and fun experiments to discover the wonders of electricity and energy. Each section has great illustrations and easy-to-follow instructions. And there's an easy to understand explanation for all the projects. All experiments are safe, use inexpensive household materials, and involve a minimum of preparation and clean up. Paperback, 89 pages
