To Andrew, whose curiosity knows no bounds and who always inspires me to learn more.
My deepest thanks to the scientists in my life: Andrew, Eugene, Agnieszka, Fabrice, Costa, Fred, and my brother Michael. I owe you all so much homemade guacamole!
And thank you to my agent, Gina Panettieri, for this incredible project, and thanks for all your invaluable input and experiment ideas. We have a great partnership!
Things are always happening all around us dark clouds building in a clear blue sky, leaves changing from bright green to gold and crimson, smoke filling the air we breathe, and our planet rotating around the sun.
What's going on? Who is affected? When will these things happen again? Why do they happen at all? Scientists ask questions like these to help them understand Earth's incredible forces and transformations. You can be a scientist, too, and find answers to all kinds of questions.
But scientists are grownups, you think, with tools like microscopes and test tubes, and they know more than you do. In fact, scientists all start out with a sense of curiosity. That's the first, and most important, tool you will need. And one you already have. Every time you ask why, every time you wonder whether something will happen the same way if you try doing it a different way, you're building your curiosity. You're becoming a scientist.
Science is about observing, doing, and learning. Sometimes in science experiments you make things bubble and boil, sometimes things even explode! But other times you are watching something change very slowly. Or you are watching animals outside to learn where they live and what they eat. During an experiment, a scientist writes down what she sees, smells, hears, feels, and sometimes what she tastes. Then she looks at her notes and tries to understand what she has just observed.
Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.
Jane Goodall
This book will take you through the five main areas of science biology, chemistry, physics, the human body, and planet Earth. The experiments you can do on your own or with a friend are called Try This. The experiments that require help from a grownup are called Science Labs. These sometimes involve a knife or a stove. It's important to be safe when you're a scientist.
The experiments are set in a certain order, but you can always flip through and pick an experiment you like. These activities are meant to be relatively easy to set up, do, and take down. However, if you think of ways to extend the fun, go for it. You might just discover something completely new!
The world around us is full of so many living things that we are always trying to better understand. Scientists go out in the world and watch to see how plants grow, where animals make their homes, what insects eat, and more so they can learn more about the natural world. In the following experiments, you will be going for walks in your neighborhood and backyard to observe and learn.
LEAF HUNT
Whether it's fall, winter, spring, or summer, there are usually leaves blowing about in the wind, crunching under your feet, adding colors to a gray sidewalk. They grow on broad, towering elms and oaks and on tiny, wispy Japanese maples. What do these leaves do? Why are they attached to trees? What happens when the leaves fall and why do they change color? How do trees grow new leaves? All these questions can be answered by looking more closely at leaves and the trees to which they belong.
QUESTION
What kinds of leaves are in your neighborhood?
WHAT YOU NEED
Shoes
Bag
Magnifying Glass
Paper
Crayons
Why did the leaf go to see the doctor?
It was feeling green!
WHAT TO DO
Put on your shoes. You're going on a nature hike!
Look all around you as you walk. Pick up leaves you see on the ground and put them in your bag. When you think you have enough different leaves, head back home.
Lay out your leaves on a table. Sort them into piles by their shape. How many of each kind of leaf do you have?
Use your magnifying glass to look at the leaves up close. What do you see?
Put a piece of paper on top of your favorite leaf. Carefully rub a crayon over the area of the paper that covers the leaf. What do you notice about your picture?
