Description
In a series of fun and involving hands-on biology experiments, kids learn why plants seek light, how to grow plants from carrot tops, how water protects plants from freezing temperatures, why earthworms surface during a heavy rain, and why camels can live in the desert for weeks without drinking water. They will also determine and demonstrate the effect temperature has on the growth of bacteria, whether or not the light from fireflies gives off heat,...

In a series of fun and involving hands-on astronomy experiments, kids learn how distance from the sun affects atmospheric temperature, why the Earth is called the "Blue Planet," why Jupiter's ring shines, and how to reproduce Mars' red soil and Jupiter's stormy red spot. They will also determine why radio wave receivers are curved, how radio waves are sent around the Earth via satellite, how satellites enter into orbit, and how rockets achieve escape...
