About this title

From the Publisher:

Dr. Heidi Gold-Dworkin, a member of a Nobel prize-winning team, received her bachelor's degree from Cornell University and her graduate degrees from Yale University. She is the author of numerous scientific and educational articles. A mother of three children, Dr. Heidi is solidly dedicated to the development of innovative, exceptional, hands-on science curriculum for young children.

From the Back Cover:

Hi. My name is Olivia. I'm 6 years old, and sometimes I have questions about the world around us like: How do clouds make rain? Why is the sky blue? Why do the leaves turn different colors in the fall? Why do balls bounce?

When that happens, I always go see my friend, Dr. Heidi. Dr. Heidi is a real scientist and probably the smartest person in the whole world. She always knows how to do all kinds of fun, easy experiments that help me to really understand how things work.

Today, Dr. Heidi and I are exploring something that there's more of than anything else on planet Earth...can you guess what it is? If you said water you were absolutely right! Why not join us and have fun finding the answers to your questions about water by doing things like watching plants eat their breakfast, picking up bubbles without breaking them, and even making it rain in a fishbowl!

The Little Scientist Hands-On Activities series of books is an outgrowth of the nationally acclaimed Little Scientists educational program. Like the popular scientific enrichment classes for which they are named, these books are designed to expose kids, ages 5 to 8, to the thrill of scientific discovery, while helping them to develop core scientific skills of observing, critical thinking, communication, classifying, comparing, applying and generalizing, measuring, predicting, hypothesizing, and problem solving.
