Synopses & Reviews
Physical Science Experiments covers the two main areas of physical science: chemistry and physics. Physics is the study of the universe's foundational elements. Chemistry studies the properties of matter and how those foundational elements interact with one another. In this new volume, 20 hands-on activities promote interest in science and technology. The easy-to-replicate experiments include lessons about energy, heat, geodes, steam power, and infrared light.
Experiments include:
Testing Items with a Black Light
Detecting Infrared Light
Determining What Color of Light Shines Brightest Through Fog
Creating a Hologram
Making Bath Fizzers
Testing Liquids for Use in Plaster
Creating a Geode
Using Chemicals to Make Soap
Testing the Dissolution Rate of Lactase
Using Kitchen Chemistry to Make Glue
Examining the Energy in a Peanut
Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions
Testing the Effect of Heat on Egg Coagulation
Using Steam to Power a Boat
Creating a Magnetic Linear Accelerator
Throwing a Curve Ball
And more.
