Science has been a part of our lives, and we accept its benefits as a matter of course. It will be useful if we pause, and understand the basic principles involved in these. Experiments form a good method to see how nature’s laws operate, and to establish their inter-relationships. The book presents, apart from theories, a series of experiments that may help children towards the doorway to science. Published by Children's Book Trust (CBT)

Within these pages, you’ll discover that many things we hold dear began outside their traditional homelands. The...
