Magnets irresistibly draw kids to science - turning the learning process into a magical experience. This entertaining collection of experiments helps parents and teachers make the most of that natural, youthful curiosity. These activities answer all the most basic questions in a hands-on way, always with an eye to safety: What do the "N" and the "S" on a magnet mean? What can a magnet pick up - and can I make something magnetic? Where is the largest magnet in the world? There's even a way to make a magnet float in the air and a great "art project" using a magnet to decorate a silly drawing! Give kids a head start on science with simple experiments and activities that have been designed specifically for young scientists and require only minimal adult supervision.
Even young children can understand the science behind sight, sound, smell, touch and taste, thanks to these simple, safe and easy experiments.

Find out why salt is salty and sugar sweet or why feathers tickle your skin: Sight - Why do some people wear glasses? What is a blind spot? Can my eyes play tricks on me? Hearing - Can my ears fool me too? Why do I have two ears? Why shouldn't I poke things in my ears? Touch - Why do things feel hot and cold at the same time?
