101 Super Simple Science Experiments

101 Super Simple Science Experiments contains 101 one-page experiments that each focus on one aspect of scientific investigation. Doing science requires the development of different types of skills. These skills include the ability to make good observations, turning observations into questions and/or hypotheses, building and using models, analyzing data, using controls, and using different science tools including computers. Super Simple Science Experiments break down the steps of scientific investigation so that students can focus on one aspect of scientific inquiry. The experiments are simple and easy to do, yet they are real science experiments that help students develop the skills needed for real scientific investigations. Each experiment is one page long and lists an objective, the materials needed, a brief outline of the experiment, and any graphics or illustrations needed for the experiment. The skill being explored is shown in the upper right hand corner of each page. 101 Super Simple Science Experiments contains all five of the Real Science-4-Kids 21 Super Simple Science Experiments books - Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Geology, and Astronomy. The recommended companion book, Super Simple Science Experiments Laboratory Notebook, is a great place for students to record all the results of their experiments. It contains blank pages, lined pages, graph pages, and boxes for drawings.

About the Author
Dr. Rebecca W. Keller received her PhD in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was then awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. As Dr. Keller home schooled her three children, she was unable to find science textbooks that she felt would give her children a solid foundation in the sciences. Her scientific background, coupled with her desire to educate her children, led Dr. Keller to found Gravitas Publications, Inc. and to develop the Real Science-4-Kids curriculum. Real Science-4-Kids is a "worldview-neutral" curriculum that provides students with a solid foundation in the sciences and also gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. Students are presented with up-to-date scientific facts and the steps of the scientific method, together with the critical thinking tools needed to help them evaluate scientific conclusions. Dr. Keller's books are as philosophically neutral as possible and do not impose any single overall philosophical interpretation such as Darwinism, Intelligent Design, or Creationism. Instead, they allow students to make up their own minds about what the data show. Real Science-4-Kids, with its engaging, kid-friendly text and easy to use teacher-friendly manuals, is used in home, private, and public schools in all 50 states in the US and in many other countries. Dr. Keller's publishing team continues to develop and test products at her Albuquerque headquarters. The website for Real Science-4-Kids is www.realscience4kids.com.
