Synopsis

What do earthworms do for a living? How can you change the color of flowers? Can you roar without opening your mouth? Why can some insects walk on water? Over 50 experiments show you that science is growing like crazy all around us. Science has come out of the laboratory and into the real world. Kids can become scientists in their own backyards using simple garden tools and equipment to carry out homegrown experiments.

Review

The National Curriculum states that by around the age of 11 most children will be able to achieve the following targets, that are set for Key Stage Two Science: scientific inquiry:

  • recognise that scientific ideas are based on evidence, suggest practical ways to answer scientific questions
  • set up a fair test by varying one thing while keeping everything else the same
  • make predictions and make a series of observations or measurements
  • record them using tables, bar charts and simple graphs
Backyard Science has more than 50 safe and achievable garden-based experiments that will help your children reach those targets. Packed with hundreds of colour photographs and detailed instructions, this is a book that will teach children massive amounts about science, mostly with things that are found around the garden. Suitable for ages 8 and above. --Amanda York

Please note: some experiments may require adult supervision.
