5.0 out of 5 stars
Very interesting, easily accessable, experiments
This book is delightful. My 12 year old son and I are enjoying it immensely. My son can go straight to the cupboard for most of these. It is frustrating to have to make a list of items and spend a week finding them just to perform a great looking experiment. The added trivia/facts are interesting too. I think this book lives up to its title and back of book claims.

this isn't even for kids, it is for infants
If you are over the age of 5 this book will not appeal to you. Experiment after experiment it is the same cheesie concept from the same cheesie clown who is dressed to appeal to a 3 or 4 year old. If you want to put mentos in a coke and watch it spew or put a potato in both ends of some pvc and then push another one through it so that the first one pops a whole 5 feet...

This review is from: The Mad Scientist Handbook II (Mass Market Paperback)
Not only are many of the concepts extremely juvenile, but his explanations are often screwy and therefore worst than no explanation at all. He helps perpetuates many false concepts. Worst, he takes some good experiments from other books and mangles the concept. For example, in the light scattering experiment he says: "the blue light waves are trapped" but they are in fact scattered. Buy the books he takes his ideas from, don't buy this poorly reworked nonsense.
