Science Experiments For Families (30 books)

Listopia > Science Experiments For Families

Hands-on, for homeschooling families and those who do enrichment activities. All ages. The best books are those that have activities that use ordinary household objects, are safe for kids to do most of the activity themselves, have clear 'recipes' and illustrations, and explain the science concepts.

Some overlap with the "Science for Kids" list is likely, but I don't want Magic School Bus on this list.
