This is an introduction to science activities, showing how to set up and carry out dozens of investigations, using everyday things. The book is split into themed sections which show a range of activities, including chemical reactions, nature projects and tests on the senses. All the activities are accompanied by a list of facts and a quick quiz question. A section at the back of the book explains the scientific terms that are used during the experiments.
