Understand the science of the world around you by making art
Can you tell the difference between kinetic, stored and chemical energy? This book will help you to work like a scientist: testing ideas, making investigations and doing experiments. But you'll also be an artist, using different kinds of energy to make art, including wind, water, heat and light. Sound good? What are you waiting for?
Science Makes Art skilfully blends science theory with fun art projects to encourage learning and creativity. It's the perfect series to engage young scientists and artists, introducing them to key science principles and encouraging reluctant readers.
Using materials from around the home, make art projects such as:
- Paint pendulums
- Wind-powered dancer
- Heat mobiles
- Moving sea pictures
- A solar pizza oven

Ali Ardington (Illustrator)
Ali Ardington is a children's book illustrator, designer and author from Oxfordshire. Her childhood was spent with either her nose in a book, or a pencil in hand creating funny monsters that could gobble up her twin brother. Her love for illustration and reading led her happily into children's publishing and she now works on a wide range of books, from picture books to non-fiction and novelty. As busy as she is, juggling kids, spaniels and life, she still always finds time to doodle the odd monster eating brother, for old times' sake.
