Heatproof, transparent, and durable, the mason jar is a science lab just waiting to be discovered. Unlock its potential with 40 dynamic experiments for budding scientists ages 8 and up. Using just a jar and a few ordinary household items, children learn to create miniature clouds, tiny tornadoes, small stalactites, and, of course, great goo and super slime! With a little ingenuity, the jar can be converted into a lava lamp, a water prism, a balloon barometer, and a compass. Each fun-packed project offers small-scale ways to illustrate the big-picture principles of chemistry, botany, biology, physics, and more.
“Grab your Mason jars, ask questions, and make a mess! Science is awesome.” — Lynn Brunelle, Author of Pop Bottle Science and Big Science for Little People
“You don't need big budgets or fancy equipment to do real science with this book, perfect for every budding home scientist.” — ‘Science Bob’ Pflugfelder, founder of sciencebob.com and co-author of the Nick and Tesla science adventure series
