Stepping into Science - Experiment Manual Sample Pages (PDF)

When it comes to science for young children, nothing beats the convenience of an all-in-one kit. The ability to grab a box and do science is a huge blessing. With Stepping into Science's wide assortment of 25 experiments, your young children will study biology, physics, chemistry, air, and water. They will learn what germination is and that not all plants spread by seeds. They will discover how air pressure indicates weather and what makes a magnifying glass magnify. They will understand how a suction cup works, why soap bubbles are round, and so much more. With full-color, down-to-earth pictorial instructions and straightforward text, even an inexperienced home-educating parent is sure to succeed. To a young child, science is not a subject, but an adventure. A "Parent's Choice Seal of Approval" award winner, the Stepping into Science all-in-one kit nourishes that impression without any additional busywork for mom. Apart from a handful of household items such as water and vinegar, everything you need is included.

Begin a lifetime of scientific investigation and understanding with 25 fun experiments in five key areas: nature, physics, chemistry, air, and water.

Learn what plants need to grow, build a barometer, see how water climbs, watch plants sweat, and investigate plant propagation. Discover how a magnifying glass enlarges, how colors mix, how static electricity attracts, how sundials tell time, and how a motion picture works. Investigate air pressure, air flow, hovercraft, paper airplanes, and suction. Write secret messages, float a paper clip, blow super bubbles, observe capillary action, and test displacement. Build a soap-driven boat, mix oil and water, experiment with evaporation, paint with sugar, and watch a balloon inflate itself.

With a 48-page guidebook, Stepping into Science teaches science fundamentals with step-by-step, hands-on experiments, while also introducing children to the scientific method itself. Ages 5 and up.
