There was a time when people thought scientific reactions were magical spells, and you can see why

This encyclopaedia of 40 experiments will show curious kids the amazing things that science can do. The experiments are easy to do, requiring no special equipment, but they explain key scientific principles.

Experiments include:
- Creating sugar crystals
- Making goop to test non-Newtonian fluids
- Lighting up a room with a balloon and static energy from your hair
- Making your own instrument to learn how vibrations create sound
- And many more

Eye-catching full-color photographs throughout the book show how these principles work on a larger scale - and introduce some fascinating facts. This book is perfect for children aged 8+.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Children's Reference Library uses stunning photography, fabulous facts and useful diagrams to introduce a variety of subjects - from the animal kingdom to space. Great to dip into, these reference guides are a staple for any child's bookshelf.
