While basic, this book hits the sweet spot for kids and parents that like explosive fun (and implosions, too). Well-photographed and simple instructions for the old standards:
- inflate and pop a paper bag
- foam explosion from microwaved Ivory soap*
- flame popping an air filled balloon-- and how a water filled one doesn't
- vinegar and baking soda plastic bag bomb
- vinegar and baking soda powered rocket- - uses a film canister which might be hard to get
- shook up soda and mentos explosion
- sucking an egg into a bottle with matches in the bottle
- crushing an empty milk bottle with hot water inside and cold water outside
- crushing an aluminum can by transferring it from boiling to ice water
- inflating a balloon by putting it over the mouth of a microwave-heated bottle
- garlic scented soap bubbles*

ALMOST ALL OF THESE REQUIRE ADULT HELP because of heat/flame. Still, a great selection for a weekend afternoon and an explosion loving parent/kid partnership.

This book is all about experiments that explode. Students love to see explosions in science, so this book is all about student inquiry. It shares several experiments in which teachers can show students about about chemical reactions. This book may be used in grades third through fifth and even middle school.
