"Explore Your World " is divided into two chapters: one of zany, quirky science projects and tech crafts, and another of eye-opening explorations that make every child's backyard seem like a haven for discovery. In the first chapter, kids experiment with electricity, magically squeeze an egg into a bottle, isolate their own DNA, make an eclipse-viewer, and have fun with optical illusions. In the second chapter, readers will learn how to collect water from a tree branch, recognize animal tracks, raise a butterfly, and make cool fossils. This stealth-educational title gives kids the chance to learn and grow, without making them feel like they're stuck in class.
