Explosive Experiments

Horrible Science #Special

by Nick Arnold

Which scientist blew up his barbie in an experiment? Who tried - and failed - to get rid of his fingerprints with acid? How did scientists track down the chemical cause of cheesy socks? All these questions are answered in the one guide that no aspiring horrible scientist should be without. "Explosive Experiments" blows up the red hot details of dodgy experiments that have set the world of science alight! What's more - this book is filled with truly rotten experiments that can be tried at home. Kids can make their own artificial sick, make the moon shrink and create an underwater volcano.

En vez de encontrarnos una lista de experimentos sin más -que también la hay- el autor nos cuenta historias divertidas, nos explica la vida de algunos científicos y nos pasea por las anécdotas de la ciencia más... ¡explosivas!
