Experiments with Temperature and Heat Robert Gardner

Using materials they can find in their home, students can learn the science behind temperature and heat by performing experiments that demonstrate the conduction of heat in solids, thermal conductivity of liquids and gases, the relationship between temperature and color, and other scientific principles. Engaging color illustrations accompany every experiment, an explanation of the scientific method guides students, and safety tips educate students on the code of conduct expected when conducting experiments. An appendix with science supply companies, a glossary, further reading with books and websites, and an index are also included.
