Eager to use.

My grandson is already planning to use this book for his science project in school.

Super

I think anything by Martin Gardner is great. Enjoyable and for the most part practical.

Phsyics teacher

I am a physics teacher in a Mexican high school. We have a big problem in our country because we lack a scientific culture and background. This kind of books are excellent because help to promote scientific ideas without being boring.

A pretty good book, but not for very young children

I like to do science experiments with my grandson who is 6, and he loves them, so I try to find easy things to do for him. I was hoping this book would be better suited to our needs, but I feel like it is for older children 10 or 11 and up.
