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

In a series of fun and involving hands-on earth science experiments, kids learn how the sun's position affects how a rainbow is made, how stalagmites and stalactites are formed, how faults produce earthquakes, what happens when magma hardens inside a volcano, and how falling water weathers rocks. They will also determine and demonstrate how sound is used to find petroleum, how the continents separated, how a geyser works, and why streams are not always straight. Featuring color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions, Janice VanCleave again shows just how much fun science can be.
