These simple, fun experiments in magnetism and electricity will get kids all charged up.

Provides instructions for over fifty experiments demonstrating the properties of electricity and magnetism.

Down to the wire? Do your readers wait until the last minute to start their science project? Don't worry, award-winning author Robert Gardner has everyone covered. Each experiment in this book follows the scientific method, and can be completed in an hour or less. Readers find out how to make different circuits, an electromagnet, and a simple electric motor. Most experiments also include ideas for science fair projects, in case readers have more time than they originally thought.

Kids will learn all about electricity and magnetism through these fun and easy-to-follow experiments.

Illustrated directions for experiments with static electricity, magnetism, current electricity, and electromagnetism.

Ever wonder how astronauts are able to breathe a continuous supply of oxygen in space? This hands-on approach to electricity and magnetism lets readers conduct experiments to answer this and other fascinating questions! Readers will love learning that the scientific principles they’re applying at home have real-world applications. For example, they’ll rock out on their own “electric drums” while learning about technological advances in professional instruments. Simple step-by-step instructions accompanied by detailed photographs make each activity accessible, while handy tips ensure readers’ safety and fun. Budding scientists will enjoy exploring the recommended twists and additions to experiments.
