Ben's Experiments Are Great!

This is a wonderful book if you're looking for experiments that the kids can do safely and use household objects to do them with! A few items I did have to go to the store to buy but very few. Each chapter coincided with their own Science books whether it was weather or astrology. The only disappointing thing is the fact that there were no other books to form a series. NOW that would have been wonderful!
