I f you are looking for some incredible Science Experiments for your children, then you have come to the right place and chosen the right book. Check out for some fun-filled, absolutely novel and informative experiments divided into small chapters which will make it easier to grasp. They are full of fascinating ideas and facts that have been implemented in a interesting way for children of all ages to enjoy the world of science. Learn the amazing Science and Technology facts as you experiment with different common materials used in our day to day lives, found in and around our houses that react in all sorts of mesmerising and crazy ways.

However, all these experiments should be performed carefully under adult supervision only. These science projects are knowledgeable, safe and easy to perform.

So, enjoy carrying out the given incredible science experiments in this book.

• Make cool science projects with novel ideas.

• Learn amazing science and technology facts.

• Show your friends and family what you have discovered.

Last but not the least a word for the Teachers. This book is an ideal one and serves as a true science guide. It acts as a handbook for teachers, particularly teaching the science subjects, as Science can never be understood and simplified without experiments.

So all school going children can buy it and make best use of it. It can also be handy for teachers, while teaching the children the various laws, discoveries, inventions and scientific phenomena, make easy through these 71 incredible experiments compiled in the book.

Read on and enjoy the thrill of performing these experiments that enrich your scientific knowledge making Science simpler for you, as never before.

S cience, as we all know is a subject which is universal and knows no boundaries. It is also a pivotal subject in the school curricula of almost all the schools, across the globe. Hence, there is no need to explain the significance of science for students. It is invaluable and indispensable in todays world.

However, science can never be taught theoretically. It always needs practical demostrations through simple experiments and projects as illustrated in this book. There are around 71 interesting experiments explaining the various simple scientific phenomena of gravity, temperature changes, air pressure, boiling, melting and freezing points of solids and liquids, magnetism, electricity, etc., all compiled together in easy language for the children to grasp quickly, and carry them out in schools and homes with adults or teachers supervision, of course.

The benefits of learning science through experiments are that children do not just understand the concepts but also implement them practically, clearing and testing their ideas independently. They are able to evaluate themselves and use their knowledge in future not just confine themselves to classroom studies because Experimentation is a must in Scientific Studies to methodically verify, falsify or establish the validity and truth of an invention, theory or law.

Remember to always have fun with your science experiments and dont worry if your experiments dont come out as you would expect some of the greatest scientific discoveries have been made by mistake.

Science is all around us in our daily living and the more you experiment with science and observe; the more fascinated you will become in finding answers.

Hence, go ahead, read the given fun-filled experiments and perform them at home or school with the help of your parents or teachers. Thus, you can also enjoy while you learn.

A n egg sinks to the bottom if you drop it into a glass of ordinary drinking water. But what happens if you add salt? The results are very interesting and can teach you some facts about density.

One egg, Water, Salt, A tall drinking glass.

1. Pour water into the glass until it is about half full.

2. Stir in lots of salt (about 6 tablespoons).

3. Carefully pour in plain water until the glass is nearly full. (Be careful not to disturb or mix the salty water with the plain water.)

4. Gently lower the egg into the water and watch what happens.

Salt water is denser than ordinary tap water; the denser the liquid, the easier it is for an object to float in it. When you lower the egg into the liquid, it drops through the normal tap water until it reaches the salty water. At this point the water is dense enough for the egg to float. If you were careful when you added the tap water to the salt water, they would not have got mixed, enabling the egg to amazingly float in the middle of the glass.
