Hands-on crafty science book introduces children to science concepts through craft projects with everyday objects. Combines art, craft, and cooking activities with scientific learning. Children can learn how to make a toy raft and discover what makes their boat float, design and color a paper butterfly and watch it balance on the tip of a pencil, or create an ice sculpture and learn about the changing states of solids and liquids. Concepts like buoyancy, gravity, and aerodynamics are explored through play.
