My kids always want to know why or how something happens. This is a great book for them to look at (marvelous pictures) and for us to select projects from that explain some of the stuff mom and dad don't know. My seven and ten year old can read and understand the vocabulary without getting lost in any scientific jargon. A great help for classroom project, science fair entries, long summer days or rainy weekends.

This fascinating book is different from other science book.It has many, many different experiments and projects to try out. From building a escalator to making a simple computer...That really works!! Each experiment is clearly photographed step by step , it is so ever easy to follow them! This book is a must. If you enjoyed this book, why not try the others? You won't regret.

This will help you answer the 1000 and 1 questions that little minds can generate. Daily.
Buy one for every single mom you know.

My son is going to love this book. He is constantly asking how things work, and now he can read about it and do hands on experiments. The suggested age is 8-14, my son is 6 but I think it depends on the child. The explanations are clear and the some of the building plans seem pretty easy, but finding some of the pieces to build some of the things may pose a challenge. I can't wait to give it to him.

Bought this book for my nephew, who always wants to know the 'how' and 'why.' Excellent information and it is presented in a clear format. Strongly recommended for parents, grandparents and as a gift to any child with an active, inquiring mind.
