Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Infused with Helaine Beckerâs trademark wit and irrepressible energy, Science on the Loose encourages young readers to release their inner scientist so that they can think, do, and learn in the most entertaining way possible. Whether itâs to test density in fruit, determine dominant genes, or make slimy goo, each experiment follows accepted scientific procedure, is easy to conduct, can be safely performed using ordinary household materials, and makes for a satisfying, surprising adventure in science. Each experiment features a ÂWhatâs Going On?â component that explains the science behind the results in a clear and concise way, so even when an experiment just feels like silly fun, children are learning about chemistry, climate change, genes, the senses, photosynthesis, the scientific method  even Einsteinâs Theory of Relativity. From fooling our senses to discovering whether Jell-o can have brain waves to creating ice cream by kicking a can, Science on the Loose feeds into childrenâs natural curiosity about the world around them. A helpful listing outlines all the scientific principles covered in the book  an indispensable tool for teachers and a mark of a serious science book for parents. Claudia Dávilaâs amusing illustrations strike the perfect note.
