101+10 New Science Experiments (With CD) contains many practical activities and experiments that demonstrate scientific concepts for children. Summary Of The Book Encouraging an interest in science in young children involves showing them practical examples of science at work. Just an exposition of theories and asking them to memorize them for exams will not instill a spirit of scientific enquiry in their minds. Showing young children how the theory they learn in class actually works in the real world, will pique their interest. They will learn to observe everyday events and the environment and understand the science behind many natural occurrences and artificial processes. 101+10 New Science Experiments (With CD) contains over a 100 simple experiments to explain basic scientific principles. These experiments help illustrate the basic principles of heat and light, the properties of air and water, and explain the concepts of electricity and magnetism. The book begins with a very simple activity to determine whether an empty container is really empty or whether it contains something that is invisible. It then slowly builds on this idea to show how air occupies space, and how air has weight and exerts pressure on the space around it. It shows how to build a barometer to measure atmospheric pressure. In a similar vein, it moves on to different topics, explaining the properties of water, the concepts of heat and light, the law of gravity, magnetism and electricity and their uses. 101+10 New Science Experiments (With CD) contains numerous activities that can be done at home or at school. These help children gain a deeper understanding of many common natural phenomenon. It also helps them understand how various technologies like the transmission of a telegram work. This book contains simple experiments that can help instill confidence in young children about various scientific principles. It also encourages their natural curiosity and helps them try to conduct their own experiments to learn more about the world around them.
