Hairy Science (No Sweat Projects)

The Story

Full-color, funny, and kid-friendly yet absolutely scientifically sound, this affordable new paperback series helps kids get started on that Mount Everest of grade school experiences -- their first science project. Provide start-to-finish guidance with sample research, a scientific overview of the subject, pictures to photocopy and use, as well as truly original and easy experiments. Perfect whether kids have to do a written report, oral presentation, or create an exhibit.A simple hair can lead young scientists to genetics (Will I go bald?), evolution (Why does my head get a haircut and not my elbow?), zoology (What's the difference between hair and fur?), and anatomy (What's the stuff made of?). Besides a basic scientific overview of hair, the book shows kids where to go to learn more about hair and even offers suggestions for conducting 'primary research' -- e.g, interview a barber!
