Customer Reviews

A wonderful science suppliment

This book is GREAT! It is filled with easy-to-do, fun experiments, many of which my 10 year-old homeschooler can do on his own. There are experiments in 5 different scientific areas of study which can easily be worked into the science programs - astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science and physics. My son looks forward to the days that we do the experiments from this book. It helps make science his favorite subject.

Perfect for home schoolers!!!

I checked this book out at the library for my kids and loved it so much, I bought it! Easy but facinating experiments with stuff you have around the house. I'm using it as part of my home school curriculum. My 1st and 3rd graders love it!
