This book offers different hands on activities for students to do to apply their skills to science. The book gives background on the different experiments and what they mean and context behind them.

The main idea of the book is about reactions and how those reactions react to different substances. There are step by step instructions and pictures for students to follow along with when they go about the different experiments.

They can use things in their daily lives in these experiments and see how they react to each other.… (lisätietoja)
