[ACS Book-finder · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really good book. It kept the attention of my 11 year old throughout. The projects are easy to understand and can be, mostly, done with everyday household items. Designed to easily stir the kids' imaginations to delve "scientifically" into their everyday surroundings. (reviewed by J.McC, mother of two)

This book has some good, doable ideas. I liked the 'What's Going On?' explanations that go with each project. I appreciated the diversity of the children shown.
