The Really Useful Book of Science Experiments contains 100 simple-to-do science experiments that can be confidently carried out by any teacher in a primary school classroom with minimal (or no!) specialist equipment needed.
The experiments in this book are broken down into easily manageable sections including:
- Its alive: experiments that explore our living world, including the human body, plants, ecology and disease
- A material world: experiments that explore the materials that make up our world and their properties, including metals, acids and alkalis, water and elements
- Lets get physical: experiments that explore physics concepts and their applications in our world, including electricity, space, engineering and construction
- Something a bit different: experiments that explore interesting and unusual science areas, including forensic science, marine biology and volcanology.
Each experiment is accompanied by a subject knowledge guide, filling you in on the key science concepts behind the experiment. There are also suggestions for how to adapt each experiment to increase or decrease the challenge.
