Includes twenty-two experiments covering energy and heat, waves and electromagnetism, forces and gravity, and nuclear physics and space. Topically, students learn about density, states of matter, air pressure, electromagnetic spectrum, Newton’s Third Law, gravity, atoms and the nucleus, medical physics, space missions and more.
Discover how electricity is made, learn about the inner workings of atoms and conduct experiments with making waves, and more. Become a Kitchen Scientist by grasping gases using a home-made hot air balloon, learning about light to recreate a rainbow and mastering momentum with model cars! The Physics of Popcorn uses applied science for a fun and interactive approach to learning for the whole family.
Science just makes more sense when we apply it to the real world, and what is more real for Junior High and High schoolers than the kitchen! Whether making cell cookies, colorless cola, or calculating the density of pop or un-popped popcorn, this series helps students explore the key principles of science in a hands-on, practical way! Chapters are written to the student and follow three steps: Discover, Learn, Experiment. Adult supervision is recommended for some activities. An excellent companion to your science curriculum or co-op class to bring meaning to the world of science. Would also be an excellent summer resource to review previously learned material or as a way to introduce the upcoming science curriculum. Secular publisher. ~Deanne
