Customer Reviews

Great product

This is a great book of science experiments. They're easy to do and the materials are items you can easily find in your home or obtain.

Great for kids

This book is filled with neat experiments and tricks. I think it would be perfect for children who are not interested in science. Easy instructions, common ingredients, nicely illustrated. Don't you want to know how to get an egg in a bottle?

A life saver!

It was 9:30 pm on a Thursday evening when my sixth grader casually announced that he had a science project due - the next morning! He had to produce a homemade musical instrument. My suggestion of a toilet roll kazoo didn't cut it. Mr. Wizard to the rescue! Using a ruler,a pencil, some dressmaking pins and an empty cigar box I happened to have been saving, just in case, he put together a delicate "piano" which earned an A. The science teacher said he'd never seen one before! Thank you Mr. Wizard for writing a book which uses things that you can readily find about the house and which explains why they work.
