Uncover the secrets of the natural world with 325 fascinating experiments into why and how things happen. Explore the wonders of botany, chemistry, electricity, motion, molecular forces, temperature, air pressure, sound, sight, and more. Find out how to tell the number of sections an orange has before you peel it and how to prevent a glass from cracking when hot water is poured into it. Determine the freshness of an egg using a pot of water, and discover why some animals' eyes glow in the dark. Learn where humidity comes from and why differently shaped icicles sometimes form on the same building. Once you begin investigating the mysteries of everyday phenomena, you'll never look at your surroundings in the same way again!

Introduction
With over three hundred experiments and natural observations that are both entertaining and educational, this is the perfect book for the young person who wants to discover how things works and why things are the way they are. As the experimenter learns to use a wristwatch as a compass, light a fire with ice, or create rain indoors, he or she learns the underlying scientific principles. Each project gently introduces the reader to some fascinating aspect of subjects ranging from electricity, magnetism, heat, and light to botany, birds, and invertebrates. Each project is illustrated and includes clear instructions and explanations of the cause and effect.
With appropriate adult supervision, each project is safe and easy to do. The only materials needed are simple tools and ordinary household articles. Children of all ages, as well as their parents, will find that this book both stimulates their mind and satisfies their curiosity.

Introduction
With over three hundred experiments and natural observations that are both entertaining and educational, this is the perfect book for the young person who wants to discover how things works and why things are the way they are. As the experimenter learns to use a wristwatch as a compass, light a fire with ice, or create rain indoors, he or she learns the underlying scientific principles. Each project gently introduces the reader to some fascinating aspect of subjects ranging from electricity, magnetism, heat, and light to botany, birds, and invertebrates. Each project is illustrated and includes clear instructions and explanations of the cause and effect.
With appropriate adult supervision, each project is safe and easy to do. The only materials needed are simple tools and ordinary household articles. Children of all ages, as well as their parents, will find that this book both stimulates their mind and satisfies their curiosity.
