It is an introduction to the wealth of material in many other books available in libraries and bookstores. Science Experiments in a Bag engages young children. It has experiments they can see, touch, manipulate, and modify; situations that allow them to figure out what happens--in short, events and puzzles that they can investigate, which is the very stuff of science. All the experiments have been tested by a group of moms and they work great! But most importantly, kids of all ages are observing, asking questions, learning science, and loving it! And, science experiments are not a hassle anymore, because it's all in the bag! This book suggests ways you can interest your children from about 3 to 10 years old in science.

Convenient, easy to make at home, inexpensive, fun, and most importantly educational. What more could a Mom want? Beth L. We used all normal items from home. That is one thing I loved about these experiments-you use normal everyday products from home! Our favorite experiment used borax, popsicle sticks, glue, food coloring, paper cups, and water. I allowed my eldest to conduct the experiment and my little almost 5 year old was able to explain all the observations and we wrote them down on the "Observation Questions" area on the form. So, what my children made was basically "Flarp"!!! Heeeee! With a really cool twist...We didn't have to purchase it! We made it! The science behind the item was what I wanted my kids to see. It was amazing to watch my youngest son's eyes light up in amazement that he had created something he could keep and play with for a long time. This is just one of the FUN experiments that you will find within the Science Experiments books. All of the experiments are fun, just like this one. They are easy to grab on the go if you place all of the "dry" ingredients in a gallon bag...and add the liquid items or the needed-what I call-fresh items when you actually conduct the experiment.
