Step-by-Step Science Experiments in Astronomy
Janice VanCleave's First-Place Science Fair Projects
Astronomy enthusiasts, science gurus, and all curious minds, are provided nearly two dozen experiments that will certainly garner multiple science-fair awards. Each experiment exhibits clear, safe instructions with descriptive text and detailed photography. They will see why light bends in a medium, how to determine the size of the sun, and how gravity works, as they practice the experiments. As hands-on learning tools, experiments are not only educational, they're fun, too.

Series Review: Janice VanCleave's First-Place Science Fair Projects"The well-organized volumes begin with a pithy introduction to the subject, followed by 22 simple but interesting and thought-provoking experiments. [...]Step-by-step instructions are clearly detailed and accompanied by diagrams where needed. [...]Absolutely no prior scientific knowledge is necessary for these activities. Approachable and informative additions."
