Each project offers small-scale ways to illustrate the big-picture principles of chemistry, botany, biology, physics, and more. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Mom's Choice Award Gold Winner <br> Nautilus Book Awards Silver Winner</b> <p/> Heatproof, transparent, and durable, the mason jar is a science lab just waiting to be discovered. Unlock its potential with 40 dynamic experiments for budding scientists ages 8 and up. Using just a jar and a few ordinary household items, children learn to create miniature clouds, tiny tornadoes, small stalactites, and, of course, great goo and super slime! With a little ingenuity, the jar can be converted into a lava lamp, a water prism, a balloon barometer, and a compass. Each fun-packed project offers small-scale ways to illustrate the big-picture principles of chemistry, botany, biology, physics, and more.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Explore the World's Smallest Science Lab <p/> These 40 hands-on experiments are small in scale but big on fun. Learn the chemistry behind goo and slime, watch botany in action as carrot tops grow, discover the physics of density with a liquid rainbow, and so much more!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Grab your Mason jars, ask questions, and make a mess!
