Explaining Scientific Experiments - Book 2

Practical experiments and the science behind them

Explaining Scientific Experiments Book 2, opens up more tantalising opportunities for experimentation at the upper primary to lower secondary school levels with step-by-step worksheets designed to light the spark of scientific curiosity in your classroom.

From a teacher's perspective, it has the added attraction of taking much of the time and trouble out of facilitating learning: every experiment is accompanied by teacher notes that offer a deeper understanding of the concepts behind it, along with handy troubleshooting tips and answers to tricky questions that students love to ask.
