Janice Vancleave's Wild, Wacky, and Weird Chemistry Experiments (Janice Vancleave's Wild, Wacky, and Weird Science Experiments)

In a series of fun and involving hands-on chemistry experiments, kids learn why water beads on some surfaces, why some materials get wetter than others, how gas fills an open container, why bubbles escape from a glass of soda, how stains are cleaned by enzymes in detergents, and why milk curdles. They will also determine and demonstrate how yeast produces carbon dioxide, what role vinegar plays in the dyeing of eggs, and how water can rise up a paper towel held vertically. Featuring color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions, Janice VanCleave again shows just how much fun science can be.
