Easy-to-do experiments are clearly laid out, requiring readily available materials, and accompanied by full-color step-by-step illustrations, making science come alive in the home. Sidebars or wrap copy extend the hands-on approach to include answers to questions kids often ask about the subject matter: "Why is the sky blue?" might accompany a light refraction activity, for example. "What causes volcanoes to erupt?" would be paired with a "make a volcano" experiment. Interesting facts, "Top 5s" and "Did You Knows" are sprinkled throughout the book. A special bonus section gives kids (and their parental science partners) suggestions, tips and ideas to excel at school science fairs, as well as a model for the scientific inquiry method of observing, questioning, hypothesizing, experimenting and concluding--the exact process that scientists use in their work. The book will be co-branded with Mad Science--the world's leading science enrichment provider.
