This is a great science experiment book for my 10 yr old daughter and for a great price......we are very excited to do some of them.....picked up a bunch of the materials needed to do them and the best part is that a lot of the materials you have at home and the ones that you might need to buy are inexpensive!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fantastic book for rainy days, homeschooling, even family time.
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2016

This book has 5 chapters Biology, Chemistry, Physics, The Planet Earth, and The Human Body. Each experiment has background information on what you will be learning about.
The first experiment for example is putting food coloring in water, and placing a white carnation in the water, to watch the flower change colors as it draws the colored water up through its roots. But the introduction explains live things are very complex, that there are a lot of things happening inside that we don't see.
After each introduction it states a question to engage the participants. Then provides a material list, procedure steps, and one of my favorite parts is it also explains what's happening during the experiment. Each experiment also has a follow up question in which the answer is provided in the back of the book.
But that is not all there is included in this book there are also words to know, jokes, even different websites pertaining to each experiment.
This book is great for parents who want to teach kids about science or even just need something to do. Not only are there great experiments but also very detailed descriptions on what takes place during each experiment. Each experiment has a lesson to be learned, most involve everyday household items you probably already have and even questions involving what you noticed happening during the experience. I have done a couple with a group of kids with ages ranging from 5-10 each of them discussing before and after results and they were all ready to do another after we were done.
Overall I recommend this book to families who seek out things to do with family time, or perhaps with kids that are having a tough time with science who knows you might have the next world’s renowned scientist.

Our daughters are all very bright, every parent has to say that I'm sure, but each of them has an interest where they seem to have more fun. One of our girls loves science and everything about it so we ordered this book based on the reviews of parents like us. I can say that from the moment our, then five year old, opened the book she was entranced. Part of the fun was watching her thumb through the pages and interpret what she thought the experiment was based on the pictures. Some of the theories were pretty funny...a reindeer launcher was the one that had us in tears. Anyway, we have spent a lot of time going through the various experiments with some success and some, well...some learning experiences. The experiment that is still talked about as if myth to her younger sisters is the time she made the shell of an egg disappear leaving the yolk in a see through sack...the explanation changes every time but it is always cute. If we can find the pics from some of the experiments we will load them up but I definitely recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real science made fun to learn!
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013

My late father was a Mr. Wizard chemistry teacher so science is in my life by birth as well as by education. Being unable to recall many of Dad's teaching experiments that didn't require a lab, I searched for a guide to help me share my love of science with my granddaughter in much the same spirit. Let me tell you, Tom Robinson's book is IT!! Dad would have been as pleased with it as I am. It's for everyone--no prior science education or special equipment needed, and you won't blow up the house. The experiments are well-planned and clearly explained. They can be grouped by topic or by complexity and will appeal to a wide age range. My granddaughter is almost 10 and enjoys the book even more than when we first bought it last year. As always with things like this, adult supervision is needed, but she can do many of the projects herself. For younger kids, say 7 and under, you'll need to do some of them yourself but it's easy to engage even an "itty bitty scientist" in what's happening. Another factor I've appreciated is that some of the experiments are not "instant gratification" whiz-bangs, which helps teach patience and persistence, assets it's good to acquire as early as possible.

Grandparents strategy # 9: Now you see it. This will seem obvious, but wait. So we all know books are good for brain development, reading skills....blah blah blah. What the fiction ever... All we need is a reason to spend time with our grandkids. But lets face it, we aint chasin the ball the way we used to. If we can sit and read a book. "KaaaPoww", "SlaaaWhamm" we got a dynamic duo of doating. Time with your grandkids and so close you can kiss em! Share the love. They are the most worthy after all. Not withstanding we can chill in the big chair and not run around in the sun pretending we aint sweatin just to have fun time with the love bugs. Beside the fact that we can fool their parents into thinking they will have more time to themselves. What a load of diaper dank that is. SHeessh before ya know it, all you got is time to yourself. Highly overrated But who said new parents were all crystal clear with their thought process? Have you seen some of those thought bubbles above their heads? It looks like this: "sup dude" ....IDK....WUA....emoticon, emoticon, emoticon. Ive seen labels on melons at the grocery store with more content. At least they can do one thing right. GRANDKIDS!!!
Okay..chill brainiacs, I feel you about to comment....I got this. Yes, reading is good auditory stimuli, neuronal development and cognitive concentration. But its more importantly good for grandparents getting more and more time with their grandkids! Tick tick tick.. that aint no pacemaker your hearin. Thats time tellin ya to book time for the prime time, in time before ya got no time. ( mic drop )
Oh yeah..awesome book. Totally recommended

I mainly use it for making lessons for pupils as the school i'm currently teaching at does not do many experiments, and the ones they do are old and not very exciting, this provides fun and easy experiments to incorporate into lessons that don't break the bank. Great resource and has found a permanent spot within my classroom. Arrived in perfect condition as expected.
