Description: 700 Science Experiments is a science source book containing simple experiments that use materials easily found at home. Students who want to supplement their scientific studies at school, as well as those looking for alternative ways to study science, will enjoy discovering how things work, why they grow, what they are made of, and how they live. Compiled by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), 700 Science Experiments will fascinate budding scientists with sections on optical projection, electricity, chemistry, astronomy, magnetism, geology, physiology, and more. It makes science exciting, useful, and just plain fun! An excellent collection of experiments, noted for its number of entries and breadth of coverage.
