PREVIOUS ENTRY Renewables Are Ready: A Guide to Teaching Renewable Energy in Junior and Senior High School Classrooms	SCIENCE ACTIVITY BOOKS	NEXT ENTRY Science Investigations for Intermediate Students

Recommended grade level: 6-8.
Science Experiments: Chemistry and Physics is an activity book containing 36 simple experiments that introduce students to concepts in chemistry and physics. The activities also help students become familiar with models, carefully controlled experiments, and simulations. A section on laboratory skills is also included.

In the section on chemistry, students create hydrogen gas from a chemical reaction, collect it in a balloon, and explode it; make an acid-base indicator from red cabbage; and separate salt from saltwater. In the physics section, students simulate the decay of radioactive particles, make convex and concave lenses from water drops, and investigate the properties of magnets. In the section on reviewing and strengthening laboratory skills, students classify objects by different appearances, conduct experiments to measure a water droplet's splatter size, and construct balloon rockets to investigate Newton's third law.

The experiments in this volume involve both individual and group work. Reproducible directions, data charts, and graphs are supplied on tear sheets. No background material is provided.

Price: $10.95.
Publisher/supplier: Carson-Dellosa.
Materials: Available locally, or from commercial suppliers.
