Children's Literature
Kids, parents and teachers can use this lively, multicultural activity book to travel to various times and places, including: ancient Egypt, ancient China, Mayan Mexico, modern Russia, and Australia. Each culture is represented by one or two related experiments or activities such as making paper, inspired by the Chinese, or using Russian scientific knowledge to experiment with odor-eaters. Each chapter is introduced by a map and background information on science in the country. After a step-by-step description and diagram of the experiment, the authors explain what happened and conclude with information about a famous scientist from the area. A glossary and index are included.
