Content

Children are born scientists because they want to know about everything: what is air? Why do glasses fog up? What are the bubbles in fizzy drinks? This book introduces basic chemistry and physics - surface tension, evaporation, and much more - through harmless and fun experiments that explore the properties of air and water. The experiments are complemented by clear and amusing explanations that allow children to understand the science behind the mysterious results. Everyone knows why ducks don't wash themselves with soap, right?
