Award-winning science author Robert Gardner presents scientific concepts with an environmental perspective in this new hands-on series. Demonstrations and experiments entice students to discover scientific aspects of water as well as how to conserve this precious resource. A thorough introduction explains the scientific method, discusses safety procedures, and offers advice for students entering science fairs. Vivid photo-illustrations, large, easily understood graphs, and informative tables not only add interest but also help the reader comprehend the information. Practical demonstrations and experiments comprise the bulk of the book, which also contains an appendix with a list of science equipment suppliers. This title was a perfect complement to our seventh grade earth science curriculum, so we field-tested several of the experimental activities. We found the resource to be invaluable. The activities were easy, inexpensive, and fun, and captured students interest. This title would be a much utilized resource in any library. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index.
