HI,
I am looking for science experiment book recommends that my 7.5old may do mostly by himself or with help from me getting set up.
Thanks,
Crystal
pixelwizMemberCrystal,
We have used a boxed item off the shelf called “Tasty Science”.
It is fun. We also signed up for free science classes at http://www.superchargedscience.com/ last year. And we joined the eScience this year. Aurora is great.
HTH!
AnittaCoriMemberHere are some good books we like for science experiments with our 6 yo son. He’s on the verge of being able to do many of them himself (he’s not reading well enough yet for one).
http://www.amazon.com/Gizmos-Gadgets-Creating-Contraptions-Williamson/dp/1885593260
http://www.amazon.com/Measure-Pour-MIX-Kitchen-Science/dp/0671707019
http://www.amazon.com/Science-Magnets-Usborne-Activities/dp/0746012594/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262550841&sr=1-1 There are several in this series. I see them at Goodwill and used book stores often and I found the others used also.
My son also loves Crazy Machines, a computer game. It’s a physics simulator. He gets ideas and then builds things like it in real life (except electrical). He’s a lover of marble race and dominos tracks too. We limit time on it but I think it gives him good ideas. I know computer games are debatable and I do wonder what CM would have thought about them. =) I’m fine with them as long as they do things in real life and read books *more* than play the games.
CoastalCarolMemberOne of my best thrift store finds was Janice VanCleave’s Science around the Year. It has simple projects arranged by season. Each experiment also has a list of 3-5 books available on that particular topic.
