Suitable for grades 4 and up. The experiments are simple and well explained. Despite the book's title, few are really complex enough for an actual science fair entry, but most would be interesting to try on a rainy day or weekend. Materials lists are thorough with cautions when an adult's help might be required. Each experiment is graded as to complexity and cost of materials. Tips are often included to minimize cleanup. All pages are full color, with photos of the Mythbusters cast througho More...

Uses the less intricate experiments from the popular TV show, scaled down for kids to do at home. (Are pop rocks and cola really a lethal combination?) A fun approach to science. Explains the scientific approach and gives symbols for how complicated an experiment will be (and if adult help is needed) and how much the materials will cost. Fun graphic layout which includes photos of the celebrity scientists from the show.

This book is a great book for kids and adults.This book shows you how to do experiments and the best part is you get to solve the experiments if there true or false and to be able to take notes.The experiments are fun for the kids and friends even family.

I actually wouldn't recommend this for science fair projects (except in cases where the kid appeal might tempt and otherwise reluctant young scientist). Many of the typical science fair projects are reiterated here (bread mold, talking to plants, building a baking soda volcano) and some of the other ideas are not science fair material (make a duct tape wallet? In what world is that a science fair project?). Still, there are fun activities contained within and for families who can't get enough More...

This book is designed with kids in mind, as the title suggests. I'm sure my boys will try a couple of the experiments in it eventually.

This is a good book for kids (and adults) that enjoy the television series, Mythbusters. It explains how to reenact some of the (less dangerous) myths seen on the show, along with other classic science experiments. Adult supervision should be used on most.

This book is considered a "Juvenile" book, but some of the reading is a bit complex for younger kids. Along with the content. Keep that in mind when purchasing
