Book Reviews of Science on a Shoestring
Book Review: No Need for Specialized Equipment for Hands-On Science
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a teacher or homeschooling parent who is dissuaded from doing experiments with children because you lack expensive or specialized equipment, this book is for you. You can literally do science on a shoestring budget. As a science teacher of many years, I found it invaluable.
Don't have alcohol lamps for heat-requiring experiments? No problem. You can use candles instead. In one experiment, children heat a raisin in a test tube using a candle, then observe and describe the changes (sights and smells) that result.
Other experiments include the dissolving of an Alka-Seltzer tablet, use of a cabbage indicator for acids and bases, and a variety of experiments with magnets (including the construction of a small motor). Experiments with living things include the dissection of a lima bean, growing of birdseed, and monitoring of the habits of earthworms, mealworms, and brine shrimp.
