Written by Karyn Tripp—author of Math Art and Drawing Games for Kids and creator of the popular educational blog TeachBesideMe.com—this book shows kids how art involves all kinds of science and how science is full of art and beauty.
Children ages 8 and up will follow step-by-step, photo-illustrated instructions to explore an engaging variety of art and craft techniques and science concepts, including:
As you and your kids try the projects, you'll learn the science behind how and why they work. "Science in Action" terms highlighted throughout the projects are defined in a glossary of key science concepts at the front of the book.
Each project is accompanied by a supplies list, and a full list of supplies for all the activities at the beginning helps you gather what you need before you dive in. Many of the supplies needed for the projects are common household items that you likely already have on hand, while some are specialty items you will need to acquire in advance.
