- Capturing a CO2 explosion
- Squeezing an egg into a bottle
- Growing giant crystals
- Making candles
- Freezing liquids into solids
- Dying a flower from the inside out using capillary action
- Sinking and floating by adding salt or changing shape
- Dissolving solids into liquids, filtering and separating
The particular projects chosen prepare children to excel in science. They are primed to explore and later answer such question as: why do oil and water not mix; why does sugar dissolve in water; how does water travel upward into the leaves of plants; and why does ice float in water? The list is long.
This books is a classic illustration of how child's play can be structured to lead to scientific understanding. (Visit the ScienceWiz(R) Hybrid-learning on Charge, ( https: //sciencewiz.com/distance-learning/charge/ ) to understand how the specific projects in this chemistry book can lead to a deeper how-it-works understanding of the physical world around us. You can do most of the Charge projects with just a few balloons and everyday items.)
