Thames & Kosmos Elements of Science Science from A to Z 100 Experiments in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics Investigate the most important phenomena in biology, chemistry, and physics by conducting more than 100 fun experiments. A broad, yet elaborate introduction to the physical and life sciences, this kit is intended to expose children to the full spectrum of science and show firsthand how these three core disciplines interrelate. Ages 10 and up. The full-color, 112-page book is organized into the following 15 chapters: 1. Water: adhesion, cohesion, buoyancy, density, states of water, and surface tension. 2. Air: Bernoulli’s Principle, gases, pressure, wind, and molecular theory. 3. Heat: temperature, condensation, evaporation, and heat energy. 4. Sound: music, sound waves, tone, and vibration. 5. Forces: centrifugal force, energy, weight, gravity, inertia, pendulums, and rockets. 6. Magnetism: magnetic fields, compasses, magnetic poles, and radiation. 7. Electricity: electric motors, light bulbs, simple circuits, and static electricity. 8. Electromagnetism: electromagnets, the EM spectrum, waves, and current indicators. 9. Light: camera obscura, light and shadow, and light intensity. 10. Optics: microscopes, telescopes, lenses, prisms, reflection, refraction, and optical illusions.
