To fully understand science concepts, experiments illustrating these principles are essential for today's students. The six-volume Experiments for Future Scientists set is designed to encourage students in grades five through eight to explore the world around them through hands-on, tested experiments pertaining to a certain area of science, from engineering to Earth science and more. Each title contains 20 easy-to-replicate experiments with detailed introductions, step-by-step instructions for the classroom or home, thought-provoking questions, and suggested further resources. Explicit safety guidelines are provided as well as tips for instructors who implement the experiments. Correlations to National Science Education Standards are included for each experiment, as well as notes for teachers.
