Things we learn...

This was purchased as part of a birthday gift for my nephew, whose interest in the sciences is "not so much". Hopefully success with these will result in a bit of curiosity, which is the first step in learning.

I bet you can have fun with these experiments!

I tend to prefer Bet You Can't myself (probably because tryingfind the way an experiment CAN be done presents a challenge, untilgiving in to the fact that is impossible), but this book is good too. This would be a useful book for elementary school teachers; students can learn some science and have fun at the same time. Of course, I don't mean to imply that only children can enjoy these activities! By the way, see the picture of the spoon on the nose? That doesn't necessarily work; don't place your bets on that activity. Most of them seem to work, though.
