Again, there are 20 fun-filled experiments with an assessment section at the end of the book. There are more class challenges introduced but the joy and excitement for the children continues. The children are shown how a hovercraft works and how to construct their own. They are also shown how to make ink, parachutes and even perform some magic tricks - under supervision of course! There is a wealth of information supplied in fact boxes. This Science Quest series complements the Geography Quest series and the History Quest series to provide a comprehensive programme of S.E.S.E. activities for children. The series reflects the changes in content, structure and teaching approaches contained in the science component of the S.E.S.E. Primary School Curriculum. It introduces children to basic scientific concepts, using experiments that are easy and safe to carry out in a classroom setting. The experiments are pitched at a level appropriate to each class. All experiments have been tried and tested in classrooms by experienced teachers. Each chapter contains Helpful Hints for teachers to pre-empt any difficulties that may arise. The setting the scene section of each chapter outlines the objectives to be addressed in each chapter. Very little expenditure is required by teachers or pupils for experiment equipment because everyday objects are generally employed throughout the series.
