Science Around the Year!

This amazing science activity book presents fun science facts and projects that relate to the 4 seasons; summer, autumn, winter, and spring. There are 52 chapters, one for each week of the year, using the science fields of astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science as experiments. Some of the chapters look at special days like Groundhog Day and Thanksgiving, or events of seasonal interest. But any of the experiments can be performed any time of the year and in any order, so jump right in and do as many as you want!

Why will salt melt ice, but sand wont? Do city lights cause trees to keep their leaves longer? Which living things have natural sunscreen? Can snowflakes sometimes go up? If frogs don't chew then why do they have teeth? Can you see rainbows at night? Janice VanCleave's Science Around the Year promises hours and hours of fascinating, hands-on, safe, low-cost science fun-at home or in the classroom. Science is fun all year 'round!
