Featuring 30 ideas that will help students to develop chemistry projects involving the weather, acid/bases, polymers, crystals, biochemistry, proteins, chromatography and more, this text explains how to devise and produce challenging scientific experiments without the need for expensive materials.

Creating clouds in a soda bottle to study weather is among the 30 fascinating experiments found in this engrossing and informative book. Shows readers how to devise and produce challenging science experiments without using complicated and expensive equipment. Once a project is completed, readers are encouraged to investigate further, create additional experiments and develop their own theories and conclusions. For children ages 12 and up.
