Landmark Science Inventions on File

Landmark Science Inventions On FileTM provides science teachers with 60 challenging and interesting experiments for middle school and high school students. These brand-new experiments will help students understand the historical nature of science, as well as the steps that lead to landmark discoveries. Emphasis is on "early" discoveries in science and their impact on "contemporary" science. The educational and engaging experiments span the fields of electricity, mechanics, light and sound, chemistry, biology, and Earth science. All featured activities are similar in style to those presented in the Science Experiments On FileTM series and are designed to be low cost and simple to set up, yet focused on the major concepts described in the National Science Teachers Association standards.Walker, Pam is the author of 'Landmark Science Inventions on File ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780816067152 and ISBN 0816067155.
