Children's Literature -
Photographs show three winsome first or second graders engaged in a variety of experiments that explore properties of magnets and electricity. Projects are fun and instructive and include making magnetized butterflies, propelling magnet boats through water by means of magnets, inducing your hair to rise with a balloon and pieces of wool, nylon, or cotton, and exploring circuits with wires and a battery. Directions are clear except for calling for a wooden cocktail stick instead of a toothpick and asking for a drawing pin. What's that? Useful in the primary grades where magnets are frequently studied, this book provides teachers with possible projects for teams of children to explore. It also serves as friendly guide for the reading and motivated child who is curious about the topic.Book Details
