What a great book! It should be back in print!
My son has checked this book out of the school library so many times he has it memorized! Great fun at home -- inexpensive science projects that really work and are fun to do --- even for Mom! The Rocket created from a 2 liter soft drink bottle and powered by water and a bicycle pump is great. Other favorites include the Archimedes' Screw that moves popcorn and the...

Too frustrating!!!
I homeschool and bought this book with great enthusiasm. All three projects we attempted were a complete bust. We spent hours collecting all the parts needed, then cutting and preparing. The directions do not go into enough detail and you don't realize, until you have to start over, that something was left out or assumed that you understood. After several attempts and...

By A Customer
This review is from: Machines (Make It Work! Series : the Hands-on Approach to Science) (Paperback)
My son has checked this book out of the school library so many times he has it memorized! Great fun at home -- inexpensive science projects that really work and are fun to do --- even for Mom! The Rocket created from a 2 liter soft drink bottle and powered by water and a bicycle pump is great. Other favorites include the Archimedes' Screw that moves popcorn and the Rubber Band Powered Boat. Bright, colorful, lots of pictures, easy to understand and easy to build --even for the science challenged!

Too frustrating!!!,
This review is from: Machines (Make It Work!) (Library Binding)
I homeschool and bought this book with great enthusiasm. All three projects we attempted were a complete bust. We spent hours collecting all the parts needed, then cutting and preparing. The directions do not go into enough detail and you don't realize, until you have to start over, that something was left out or assumed that you understood. After several attempts and finally getting the projects built, they wouldn't work anyway. My son was off building his own parachute(which worked great) while I was trying to get anything I could find in my kitchen to go up the Archimedes screw!!There must be better resources out there than this completely frustrating book.
