This engaging crafty science book introduces children to the wonders of science through fun projects using everyday objects. Award-winning author Jane Bull blends art, craft, and cooking activities with scientific learning, showing that science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) are part of everything we do. Crafty Science includes over 20 activities, each with a "What's the science?" section that explains the underlying principles. Kids can make a toy raft to learn about buoyancy, create a balancing paper butterfly to explore gravity, and craft ice sculptures to understand states of matter.
Ideal for weekends, this book offers diverse activities, from baking to art projects, all rooted in scientific concepts. While some projects may require supervision, they are enjoyable for adults too. Through play and creativity, complex ideas like buoyancy, gravity, and aerodynamics become accessible to young minds, turning little crafters into budding scientists.
