Experiments that really work. This book is a set of four educational and fun projects for kids age 10+ requiring materials you probably have on hand. This series is designed for teachers, parents, homeschool families, grandparents, tutors, and babysitters. Adult supervision is suggested for all projects.

Thanks for playing Project 1: Letting Goop Spark Creative Writing There is nothing like a messy science experiment to inspire the reluctant writer. Have fun as you make a mess and inspire imaginations with this project. Project 2: Make a Rainbow in a Jar The difference between a pound of cotton balls and a pound of rocks is density.

This physics activity explores that very question using little more than a skateboard and a ball.
