This extensive collection of projects and experiments will provide young scientists and historians with hours of fun and creative learning. Each project includes step-by-step instructions, photographs and artworks: in the science section these explain a scientific theory or show how something works; in the history section they provide a practical insight into how our ancestors lived centuries ago.
Recreate the customs, arts and entertainments of the past, from Egyptian wall painting and Japanese ikebana to a Celtic harp and a Viking lucky charm.
The book reflects school-curriculum science, with information sections that cover many aspects of earth sciences, natural history, technology and transport.
