Cool experiments with heat and cold

"Reading about heat and cold is just the tip of the iceberg, this book lets readers create their own icebergs. Hands-on activities make learning about heat and cold both tangible and fun. Simple explanations help readers grasp complex concepts while step-by-step instructions and accompanying photographs ensure they will master each experiment. Helpful tips keep readers safe and offer suggestions for improvements. Aspiring young scientists will enjoy trying the recommended additions and twists to activities. They'll also learn real-life applications for the same scientific principles they're working with at home, such as how air pockets in igloos work as insulation.".
