This amazing book presents fun facts and projects related to history of science. Each of the 30 chapters explains science terms in simple language, in different science fields and different ages of time. Some of the chapters look at the historical development of a science topic such as meteorology while others look at the invention and development of a specific scientific instrument such as a telescope. The sections and investigations can be done in any order, and topics include chemistry, physics, earth science, astronomy, and biology.

Janice VanCleave's Science Through the Ages introduces young scientists to the amazing stories behind some of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time. Why do super-heavy ships stay afloat in water? How can you life an elephant with one finger? How much would you weigh on Mars? What can exploding balloons tell us about the weather? Each chapter provides easy-to-follow instructions for hands-on experiments, as well as clear explanations that reveal the many ways science has helped people-from ancient times right up through today!

Did you know the first refrigerator was a straw-lined pit? Or that some stones have an invisible force around them? What was the interesting discovery that a teenager made about energy? These questions are presented with illustrations in a fun way, sure to capture the imagination of young minds! As with all of Janice VanCleave's books, the materials are safe, inexpensive, and easily found around the house. So take a time-traveling tour of discovery and get ready for hours and hours of fascinating science fun-at home or in the classroom. Paperback, 118 pages
