This is a different kind of book, to start young scientists researching on the exciting road of new experiments. Through a truly scientific approach, answers can be found to such fresh and original questions as:

How much water is in a particular apple? How fast does my hair grow? How many miles can be covered on a gallon of gas in the family car? And many more—concerned with the light of fireflies, the speed of ants, the distance sound can be carried in the ground.

It is fun to discover all the science in our surrounding and to experiment in the fields of electricity, safety, transportation, sound, weather, etc. The book will provide many ideas for presentations in science fairs, science clubs, and other science projects.
