I have taught elementary science and was looking for some fun extra-credit experiments that the students could do around their houses. This book is great because everything you need can be found around the house, plus the experiments are fun for kids.
This would also be great for home-school classes looking to change up the science routine.
I also plan on using it with my younger cousins when they are around the farm this summer or at other family gatherings. I think it will be a fun way to entertain them, while also teaching them some things.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2015I bought this for my grandaughter (step) as I was concerned about her family and school getting her imagination excited. This worked and she loved reading it and doing the experiments.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2011Well written, fun books. My boys (ages 10 and 11) love this series of books. They've contributed to their excitement about science and learning in general how things work. If you have middle school boys this is a great buy.
