Discover what a scientist's life is really like by making interesting stuff like a rocket kite and a hypsometer that measures a building's height. Grow your own Mold and Fungus Garden, manage a wormery, or make a Pit Kiln to bake "fossils." "This colorful, hands-on guide introduces a number of different branches of science. The projects range from the fairly simple (clay-pot wind chimes, pinwheel helicopter) to the complex (model grist mill, powered model boats, xylophone)....Extensive informational sidebars explain the principles involved. Attractive, full-color photographs show a variety of actively involved, enthusiastic kids."-- "SLJ. 144 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10
