"There's not need for expensive, high-tech lab equipment to conduct chemistry experiments-you probably have all you need in your home junk drawer. Turn three pennies and two galvanized washers into a simple battery. Crush a soda can using atmospheric pressure. Convert an LED flashlight into a simple electrolyte tester. Split liquid water into two unique gasses, or use cornstarch to create a gooey, mysterious, non-Newtonian fluid. And model radioactive...

A young child tries a series of wacky experiments, such as seeing if a piece of bologna will fly like a frisbee and determining whether seedlings will grow if watered with expensive perfume, and then must suffer the consequences of experiments gone awry.

Presents more than one hundred home science experiments that answer such questions as "Why does bread rise?," "What is mold?," and "How are fingerprints formed?"

"Provides step-by-step instructions for science projects using household materials and explains the science behind the experiments"--Provided by publisher.

Teach kids how to find the science that exists in everyday activities with the experiments in this fun, practical book. Budding scientists will learn how to build a time machine, guess tomorrow's weather, generate salty stalactites, make a rainbow disappear, create fossils, and more.
