4.0 out of 5 stars Things we learn..., April 25, 2009
This review is from: Bet You Can! Science Possibilities to Fool You (Paperback)
This was purchased as part of a birthday gift for my nephew, whose interest in the sciences is "not so much". Hopefully success with these will result in a bit of curiosity, which is the first step in learning.

4.0 out of 5 stars I bet you can have fun with these experiments!, March 31, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Bet You Can! Science Possibilities to Fool You (Paperback)
I tend to prefer Bet You Can't myself (probably because tryingfind the way an experiment CAN be done presents a challenge, untilgiving in to the fact that is impossible), but this book is good too. This would be a useful book for elementary school teachers; students can learn some science and have fun at the same time. Of course, I don't mean to imply that only children can enjoy these activities! By the way, see the picture of the spoon on the nose? That doesn't necessarily work; don't place your bets on that activity. Most of them seem to work, though.
