My Review: Here is another great little book about things to do when your board or on a rainy day. Man o man these things will keep the kids going when they are stuck inside. And they will keep them off their phones. I know that during the rainy days here in Florida there are times when we have no power which means no internet. So these project will keep the kids busy as well as they will learn things since this one is all about science!!

No more fussing about boredom on rainy days with these fun projects. Readers will learn how to conduct experiments in cryptography, music, optical illusions and other entertaining subjects. The book begins with a reminder to collect all materials beforehand and to ask for adult help when needed, and there is also a note about cleaning up when the fun is over. Back matter includes a glossary and a list of books and websites for further information. There is also a QR code to scan for more rainy dark projects.

This is one of a set from Lerner, 30-Minute Makers. Other titles cover chemistry, robotics, edible science, outdoor science, and sustainable science projects.
