Overview
The perfect science fair idea books. Spectacular Science Projects Janice VanCleave's Molecules* What are molecules made of?
* How do water molecules stay together?
* How does heat affect the movement of molecules?
Janice VanCleave's Molecules includes 20 simple and fun experiments that allow you to discover the answers to these and other fascinating questions about molecules, plus dozens of additional suggestions for developing your own science fair projects. Learn about the structure of molecules with a simple experiment using gum drops and toothpicks; about molecular motion with a glass, a cup, and food coloring; about crystals using Epsom salts, a soap dish, and a paint brush; and much more. All experiments use inexpensive household materials and involve a minimum of preparation and clean up. Children ages 8-12 Also available in the Spectacular Science Projects series: Janice VanCleave's Animals Janice VanCleave's Gravity KIDS.
A collection of science experiments and projects exploring molecules.

Children's Literature
An excellent book for budding scientists. Do you want to know if an egg will absorb water or what is the difference between an emulsion and a homogeneous mixture? These are three of twenty simple experiments given in Molecules. Each experiment leads the child carefully through all the steps necessary to answer the question posed. The materials used are readily available. The author makes suggestions for making a science fair display and leads the young scientists to do careful work and explore further. VanCleave is a former elementary school science teacher. Part of the "Spectacular Science Projects" series.
