Put your tongue against
the cut side of a lemon.
That tangy, sharp taste
is a shock, isn't it? Lemons
are sour because they
contain citric acid, which
activates the taste buds on
your tongue that detect sour
flavors."
The fun begins on the first page with a sun clock: why make one, what's the science, and a list of items needed, are followed by a carefully-planned and numbered method to help with the construction of such an instrument. Every idea that follows is designed in much the same way and helps to assure that young children have success with projects in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Whether they are constructing floating boats, making lemonade, blowing bubbles, or building a domino run, kids will be fully occupied by all they are learning as they follow the directions for making each crafty project. Using art, crafts, and cooking to help eager learners enjoy science concepts, Jane Bull does a super job of giving them a chance to try their hand at all of them. There are 20 projects. Each one has a good reason for the project, and they are fun! It is such a meaningful way to learn something brand new.
What new discovery will your children make when you tackle some of these enjoyable and entertaining things to do while you are home together? Try some, you might be surprised!
