"COOL SCIENCE THAT WILL AWE KIDS
Solid wax is somehow changed
into light and heat. But how? Travel back in time to December 28, 1848
in London, England to one of the most famous juvenile science Christmas
lectures at the Royal Institution. British scientist Michael Faraday
(1791-1867) encouraged kids to carefully observe a candle and to try to
figure out how it burned.
Known as one of the best
science experimenters ever, Faraday's passion was always to answer the
basic questions of science: "What is the cause? Why does it occur?""
A great book for exploring what it means to be a scientist -- all you need is an inquiring mind and a desire to understand the world around you. And, as a bonus, the book contains an experiment which all children can conduct...all you need is a candle!
