Summary
The second volume in an innovative new science experiments publishing program, Science Experiments On File™, Volume 2 offers 60 brand-new, engaging experiments that meet national science standards, require simple materials, communicate directions clearly to student and teacher, and relate the activities performed to real-life situations. Six chapters provide experiments in the five major branches of science—biology, chemistry, physics, Earth science, and astronomy—as well as marine science. Each experiment is presented in a user-friendly style intended to encourage student interest and understanding. A cumulative index allows readers to search for experiments in Volume 1 and Volume 2. This collection provides a solid framework for easy, hands-on learning for middle and high school students.
