The imaginative young scientist, eager to challenge new fields of research, will discover a wide range of fresh projects in this new book by the well-known science author of Research Ideas for Young Scientists and More Research Ideas for Young Scientists. Through personal investigation, and with simple materials that are easily acquired, answers can be found to such provocative questions as:

Why does a flash of lightning make everything appear to stand still?

How is a tornado able to drive a blade of dried grass into a tree trunk?

Does land or water heat up faster?

How dusty is your town?

Can you burglar-proof your school bag?

All experiments are open-end. Often one experiment may start the researcher on to another problem to solve, and many suggestions are provided so research may be expanded. Copiously illustrated with accurate and clear drawings by Mildred Waltrip.
