Heatproof, transparent, and durable, the mason jar is a science lab just waiting to be discovered. Now budding scientists ages eight and up can unlock its potential with 40 dynamic experiments.

Using just a jar and a few ordinary household items, children learn to create stalactites, slime, and much more! With a little ingenuity, the jar can even be converted into a lava lamp, a water prism, a balloon barometer, and a compass.

Each fun-packed project in this versatile science book offers small-scale ways to illustrate the big-picture principles of chemistry, botany, biology, physics, and more.
