Junk Drawer Biology: 50 Awesome Experiments That Don't Cost a Thing

Description

Junk Drawer Biology will demonstrate that you don't need high-tech equipment to make learning fun-just what you can find in your recycling bin and around the house. Science educator Bobby Mercer provides readers with hands-on experiments to explain the building blocks of living matter for children of all ages. The projects can be modified to meet the skill levels of the children doing them, from elementary school kids to teenagers. Though each challenge includes suggested materials and one step-by-step, illustrated solution, children are encouraged to think further come up with more questions to answer. Educators and parents will find this title a handy resource to teach children while having a lot of fun.
