Summary: Fun, safe, and informative hands-on experiments
Review: Specifically written for children ages 5 to 12, A Handful Of Lightning: Full Participation Science Experiments For Young Scientists showcases a series of fun, safe, and informative hands-on experiments designed to teach children about basic principles of the physical sciences. The "kid friendly" experiments are organized into sections on Air and Water (pressure, Bernoulli's Principle, and more); Earthy Sciences Weather (recycling, pollution, gardening); and Physical Science (light and sound, chemistry, magnetism, and more). All of the experiments meet the Colorado State Science Standards and National Science Content Standards and are ideal supplements to any classroom or home schooling curriculum. A Handful Of Lightning is highly recommended for parents, teachers, science fair coordinators, and anyone else charged with the responsibility for teaching elementary school aged children about the wonders and uses of science and experimentation.
