My Big Science Book: Simple, Fun Experiments for All Young Scientists

It has lots of really good science experiements in it that you can do with simple things you have around the house....things that you probably wouldn't think of on your own.

The people who put together this science book knew what they were doing. Easy-to-read layout, colorful to-the-point pictures with creative but fast and simple science experiements. Great for preschoolers, but my guess is that the experiments would also be very relevant to much older children, since each is accompanied by a scientific explanation of how it works. The best science book I've seen around.

We got this book for our 4 year-old son. So far we have done 3 of the experiments and we are looking forward to doing others during the summer. A good book for father and son bonding!

My daughter and I love it. The experiments are all done with things you have around the house or that you can pick up the next time you go to the grocery store. Except for blotting paper, I am not sure where to get that, but there are only two experiments that use it. Anyway, it is interesting, very educational, and simple to set up. It also has pictures of each step in the experiment, so it is easy to understand.

I searched high and low to find a book that 1)would engage a young child and seem interesting 2)had relevant experiments that we could talk about in our daily life and 3)used materials that everyone ACTUALLY has at home. This book has all three. The concepts that are introduced in this book are very age-appropriate for children 10 and under. The experiments are simple, yet very fun for a parent and child to do together. My son is only 3 and we've been doing some of these experiments for about 5 months now. I love it and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for their first science experiment book.
