More Of Janice Vancleave S Wild Wacky And Weird Astronomy Experiments

In a series of fun and involving hands-on astronomy experiments, kids learn how distance from the sun affects atmospheric temperature, why the Earth is called the “Blue Planet,” why Jupiter’s ring shines, and how to reproduce Mars’ red soil and Jupiter’s stormy red spot. They will also determine why radio wave receivers are curved, how radio waves are sent around the Earth via satellite, how satellites enter into orbit, and how rockets achieve escape velocity. Featuring color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions, Janice VanCleave again shows just how much fun science can be.

In a series of fun and involving hands-on astronomy experiments, kids learn how the Sun's rays affect the visibility of Venus, determine the difference between local sun time and clock time, and observe and chart the phases of the Moon. They will also demonstrate why only one side of the Moon is visible from the Earth, make a model of the celestial sphere, and create a model of a multistage rocket.

In a series of fun and involving hands-on astronomy experiments, kids learn how gravity affects the movement of celestial bodies, why and how a satellite stays in orbit, how the Earth is protected from solar winds, why the stars seem to move in circles in the night sky, and how to safely observe the image of the Sun. They will also determine and demonstrate why the Sun�s center is more dense than its outer edge, why charged particles are attracted near the Earth�s poles, and how planetariums produce images of the night sky.

In a series of fun and involving hands-on astronomy experiments, kids learn how space acts as a heat shield, what causes Saturns rings, why both Earth and Mars have cold poles, how to make a star projector, and why the moon shines. They will also determine and demonstrate how the thickness of the atmosphere affects how light is bent, how to simulate solar and lunar eclipses, and how to aim a spacecraft to the moon.

In a series of fun and involving hands-on physics experiments, kids charge an object with static electricity, demonstrate how static charges produce sound, use magnetic force to suspend a paper airplane, determine that objects in water have a different weight than they do in air, and learn how a substance’s buoyancy can be changed. They will also determine if shape determines the strength of an object, learn the effect that an object’s center of gravity has on motion, demonstrate how the length of a pendulum affects the time of each swing, and discover how the center of gravity is also the balancing point of an object.
