Award-winning author Robert Gardner continues to create hands-on ways to engage young scientists and teach them the basic math and science skills involved in meteorology and weather. Readers can build their own weather station and study rain, clouds, wind, and temperature. The concepts in these science projects may inspire future meteorologists and will provide a rich foundation for science fairs, experiments, or classroom activities. Also included are detailed illustrations of the experimental designs, descriptions of the scientific method, lab safety guidelines, and career information.

The world is full of chemists, from flavor scientists in the food industry to researchers formulating new building materials. After reading about the types of jobs chemists have, students begin experimenting with hands-on activities from award-winning author Robert Gardner. Scientific drawings illustrate experimental setups, safety guidelines keep kids safe, and great ideas for science fair projects after many experiments encourage original scientific thinking.

Is your reader a future doctor? Robert Gardner's latest experiments book may be just the inspiration for a young scientist considering a career in medicine. The many experiments in this volume cover the different areas of math and science that doctors use. Ideas for science fair projects are suggested throughout the book, along with simple illustrations, explanations of the scientific method, career information, and guidelines for safe experimenting.
