Learn a lot about science as you make models showing how things
work!
A spectacular model of an active volcano . . . a fascinating
representation of the solar system . . . scale reproductions of
atoms and molecules . . . In Janice Van Cleave’s Super Science
Models, America’s favorite science teacher shows you how to make
these and other eye-catching science models that will help you show
what you know in class or at a science fair!
Inside, you’ll find easy-to-follow instructions for 25 great models
that reveal the worlds of astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth
science, and physics. You’ll also get helpful hints on displaying
your models, including advice on backboards, scale models, stands,
and other clever techniques. As with all of Janice Van Cleave’s
books, every project can be created at home or in the classroom
with safe, inexpensive materials. Through models of Earth’s layers,
the states of matter, an electric circuit, and much more, you’ll
discover how scientists use models to make it easier to describe
things and share their ideas. So get ready to have a great time and
impress others with what you’ve learned making these fun, fabulous
models!
