While young scientists enjoy many pursuits to learn about magnetism--an essential part of the elementary science curriculum--this exciting volume offers the most entertaining activity of all: magnetic slime Step-by-step instructions, using just a few common materials, offer readers hours of diverting yet educational fun. They'll also learn how to set up simple experiments and make observations about the crazy ways they can make the magnetic slime move. Fun fact boxes, captions, and labeled photographs make this delightful text achievable for many levels of readers.

Slime is bouncy, stretchy, and oozy--but what is it really if it's not a liquid or solid? It's a non-Newtonian fluid. More to the point, it's really fun to make and to observe its weird properties. Readers of this fun activity book delve into the science of slime, paying particular attention to coloring their slime with primary colors and mixing to create secondary colors. And don't forget the glitter The accessible text guides them in making predictions based on facts, a skill that will later help budding scientists in the lab. Step-by-step instructions and photographs make creating homemade slime a snap.

We all know about slime's ooey, gooey qualities. What about its . . . crunch? That's right--crunchy slime Readers will love taking their slime-making skills up a notch by adding texture with foam beads, glitter, water beads, and even sand. Clearly written, numbered instructions accompanied by photographs put them in charge of the lab. Then they'll observe how these additions change the slime's features. The creative experiments in this volume hone young scientists' crucial observational skills. The straightforward text provides plenty of opportunities for future experimentation.

Stretchy, oozy . . . tasty slime? Sure Slime can be made out of edible ingredients such as marshmallows, gummies, and chia seeds. Slime makers will love the easy-to-follow recipes in this volume. They'll learn that a chemical reaction turns some tasty foods into the gooey goodness called edible slime. Readers will also learn what questions to ask when using their five senses to make scientific observations about their slime and to record their findings in a table, creating a graphic organizer--just like real scientists do.

Slime is a mesmerizing, diverting toy. Many even know how to make their own. But they likely haven't made slime as fun--and educational--as the slime in this entertaining series. Readers will learn how they can use their knowledge of primary colors to create slime that's just the right hue. They'll discover how adding texture through materials such as glitter can change slime's properties. They'll also learn how to make slime they can actually taste as well as how to create magnetic slime they can bend in wacky ways. Most importantly, they'll learn what slime has to do with science--a lot

This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in agriculture. The first chapter considers the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as plant biostimulants in agriculture. It considers the benefits of PGPR, such as their ability to promote plant growth and productivity under both normal and abiotic-stressed induced environments. The chapter also looks towards PGPR application as a sustainable and efficient method to enhance crop production. The second chapter reviews recent research on the use of PGPR as biofertilizers to enhance root function and improve nutrient uptake, with emphasis on their effects on root architecture, metabolism and adaptation to abiotic stress. The third chapter explores the use of microbial bio-effectors and their ability to optimise the mineral nutrition of agricultural crops. The chapter also reviews the wealth of research on the mechanism of action, applications and efficacy of key plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs). The final chapter reviews the use of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) as a biocontrol agent against invertebrate pests. The chapter analyses the effects of PGPB species against these pest types and enlists a case study on the PGPB species Pseudomonas protegens to further demonstrate this.
