“This may be one of the most enjoyable and beautifully designed science experiment books I’ve had the pleasure to peruse in quite some time.” Betsy on Goodreads
“This is far and away my favorite science experiment collection for kids. This is pure science fair fun for kids. The illustrations are casual and silly, but still do a good job of showing how to perform the experiment. I love to use experiments from this book in my science programming at the library. Most of the experiments are of the instant-gratification variety, making them easy to do on the spot, and none require equipment that can’t be scavenged from a recycling bin or brought in from my kitchen cabinets.” Kate on Goodreads

Stand back! Genius at work!
Encase your little bother in a giant soap bubble. Drop mentos into a bottle of diet soda and stand back as a geyser erupts. Launch a rocket made from a film canister.
Here are 64 amazing experiments that snap, crackle, pop, ooze, crash, boom, and stink. Giant air cannons. Home-made lightning. Marshmallows on steroids. Matchbox microphones. There’s even an introduction to alchemy. (Not sure what that is? Think “medieval wizard.”) None of the experiments requires special training, and all use stuff found in the kitchen or in the garden shed. You’d be irresponsible not to try them.
ATTENTION, PARENTS: Yes, your kids may need your help with a few experiments. And yes, sometimes it may get a tad messy. But it’s not pure mayhem. The balloon rocket whizzing through the garden? It demonstrates Newton’s Third Law of Motion. That chunk of potato launched across the kitchen from a tube? Welcome to Boyle’s Law. Every experiment demonstrated real science, at its most memorable.
