No-Heat Steam Science Experiment Cards

Twelve steam science experiments with no kettles and no flames: squeeze air in a syringe, build a card crank, test a flywheel, spin a balloon, time yourself up the stairs to find your own horsepower and turn it into watts. Everyday kit, kitchen-table science.

What’s inside:

- How to use the cards

- Twelve no-heat experiment cards, two to a page, each with what you need, what to do, what’s going on and space for what you saw: the syringe squeeze, the syringe pull, squeeze by numbers, the card crank, the flywheel test, the balloon spinner, the paper pinwheel, how many horsepower are you?, from horses to watts, fast or slow, same work?, the spinning arms and the grip test
