Introducing a new series, Janice VanCleave shows students aged 12 and over how to devise and produce challenging scientific experiments without using complicated and expensive equipment. Featuring 30 ideas for experiments - from studying weather by creating clouds in a soda bottle to exploring physiology by measuring the respiration of common house plants - she provides detailed background information and definitions for each investigation Once the experiment is completed, students are encouraged to probe deeper by asking questions, creating additional experiments and developing their own theories and conclusions. The topics probed include botany, zoology, physiology, cell division, photosynthesis, ecology, nutrition and more
