There is a one page of introduction explaining where water is, why we use it, then it’s straight into the experiments. All the usual (and entertaining) suspects are here - white flower in coloured water, making iceblocks, and crystals, refraction, surface tension, etc. However what I really like about this book is the level - these are experiments for junior primary children, with very clear instructions and illustrations, and at the end of each experiment, there’s a very clear simple explanation about what happened.

The other three books in this great One Stop Science series from Franklin Watts are: experiments with a lemon, a ruler, and a torch.
