Review:

A science-experiment bonanza . . . All of the projects are doable and the science behind them is explained in a kid-accessible manner. . . . A great resource for teachers, parents, and budding scientists—and for any youngster who can’t resist a challenge.” —School Library Journal

Irresistible projects that sneak in science lessons for your kids . . . We got sucked in, too; who wouldn’t want to know how to tie a knot in a bone, burn a candle underwater, and hypnotize a frog?” —Parenting.com
