Summary
Publisher's description. Let's Experiment is an invaluable resource of 43 hands-on experiments and four classroom demonstrations designed for students aged 8 and upwards. The experiments are organised in six themes with at least six experiments in each topic area: Air & Water; Food; Energy; Colour; Materials; Forensic Science. Teachers will gain confidence from the experiments and extensive support notes and the fact that each one can be completed with inexpensive, readily available materials. Let's Experiment will help develop sound scientific concepts with students learning to ask questions, make predictions, apply experimental techniques and observe and draw reasonable conclusions. The interesting and practical experiences will ignite the spark of curiosity in most students and will sow the seeds of a lifetime interest in science in many
