SCIENTIST CHARLOTTE


In Charlotte the Scientist is Squished, Charlotte uses the scientific method to solve her problem ... not enough space in her large rabbit family.  Tired of not having enough space in the bathroom, or anywhere for that matter, Charlotte designs and builds a rocket to fly to the moon where there will be no crowding.  With plenty of room on the moon, she performs all the experiments she could want and take long leisurely baths.  Unfortunately Charlotte experiences an unexpected problem in space by herself and so she decides to tackle one final experiment.  

A fun book for preschoolers through second graders, written by Camille Andros and illustrated by Brianne Farley, about getting what you wish for.

MAD SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS


This very simple book was filled with experiments that the students could actually follow through and understand the instructions without looking in a science dictionary.  Even though the book did not have colorful illustrations, the simple instructions with few black and white illustrations were very useful and the outcome of the experiments were a hit among the participants.  MAD SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS by STUART KALLEN.

 For grades 4th and up.

HE'S ALIVE!

He's alive!  "He" is Benjamin Franklin.  And he's not alive in the way you might think.  He survives on a battery charge and has been sleeping in a complex, scientific chamber for over 200 years and was only to be awaken in the event of a dire emergency or problem that he could help solve.  When he is awoken in modern day Philadelphia, however, he encounters only Victor, a kid who is super into science and super into succeeding based upon statistical probabilities.  Together, Ben and Victor try to find the Modern Order of Prometheus, who are in charge of taking care of Benjamin in his Leyden Casket, and also build Victor the largest, most explosive Science Fair Volcano in the history of Philly.

Benjamin Franklinstein Lives! by Matthew McElligott and Larry Tuxbury is an adventure in scientific discovery that will entice kids in fourth through sixth grade.

FRIENDS ARE NOT GOOD GUINEA PIGS


In BULLY-BE-GONE: THE MISADVENTURES OF MILLICENT MADDING by Brian Tacang, Millicent Madding is always looking for ways to improve the lives of those around her. Being somewhat of a scientist, Millicent hangs out with many intelligent individuals - Toneisha the poet, Pollock Wong, the artist, and Juanita Alonso, a violinist. They all have a little trouble with the local bullies, and Millicent devises a concoction to scare them off. Meanwhile, the crazy Uncle who takes care of Millicent since her parents' disappearance, has many surprises and discoveries of his own. A lot is going on in this book, but it isn't hard to keep up with all the entertaining antics. Great for 3rd - 6th grades.

SUMMER FUN!

Summer is here and instead of doing the usual stuff you need to get this book and start experimenting. This is not your usual boring science experiment book. It's one of those books that will entice your curiosity about science and also help you get more familiar with your surroundings in general. The book is divided in tree parts. Exploring yourself, (eyes, ears, nose) exploring interesting places (kitchen, beaches, bathroom, and playground) and exploring interesting stuff (language, money, paper, optical illusion, sound, etc).

There are plenty of pictures and illustrations as well. So you will not be bored at all. EXPLORATOPIA: MORE THAN 400 KID-FRIENDLY EXPERIMENTS AND EXPLORATION FOR CURIOUS MINDS by PAT MURPHY, ELLEN MACAULAY AND THE STAFF OF THE EXPLORATORUIM.



For grades third and up!
