Make science magic every day of the year! "With an average of 3 or 4 accessible experiments per spread, the volume demonstrates how to utilize simple items such as straws, string, paper and eggs to make a galvanometer or a balance scale. Two-color drawings show step-by-step instructions, and a cast of animal characters inject some humor."-- Publishers Weekly .
This is a great book for a young child to use with parents to explore some scientific principles. I read it because I was looking for quick science demos to use with students. There were quite a few that I already do some version of and a few of them were better versions. There were also some experiments that I haven't done and have added to my bag of tricks. :) The experiments are well-explained and use household materials so parents and their children should be able to explore these easily.
Full of some great experiments for you to try with your little ones, my personal favs are the messier ones. This book has helped me plan many library programs.
