Pocket Book of Garden Experiments

From testing garden soil to making a homemade battery out of a potato, this book reveals the hidden science at work in the garden and around the house.

The book is divided into four sections, each focusing on one area: biology, soil science, botany, and "kitchen sink" chemistry. Each experiment is straightforward and easy, involving no more than common household items.

While learning how to create a homemade ant farm or making a pressed herbarium specimen, kids get grounded in the basic principles of science.

The experiments have been designed as participatory learning activities that bring kids and family members together with the aim of developing young people's learning skills, interest in science, and the world around them.
