Really Rotten Experiments

Horrible Science

by Nick Arnold

Ever wanted to experiment with the sick side of science? "Really Rotten Experiments" is packed with loud, noisy, wet and soggy experiments that are guaranteed to make your friends and teachers squirm! Are you itching to find out...who invented pong-free underpants? Which strange scientists ate tadpoles for tea? The revolting recipe for green slime? Plus learn to dance like a skunk, eat like a chimp and chat in cat language. With crazy cartoons, queasy quizzes and a terrible term at Rotten Road School, "Really Rotten Experiments" is simply oozing with info! This is a bumper volume of Horrible experiments to keep children entertained for hours. The topics covered will include: blood 'n' guts body experiments, nasty noise experiments, seriously stinky experiments, dangerous dinosaur experiments, scary space experiments and much, much more! Although the main 'meat' will be the experiments, each chapter will also include cartoon stories, snappy facts and quirky quizzes and will be written in a way that allows readers to read the book for fun as well as something they'd only look at to try the experiments.

[Rainier · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book had some rotten experiments in it - I encountered stuff like the bursting bladder experiment, or the sick stomach experiment. Anyway, I am trying an experiment myself here...green, yellow, blue...huh, those are the colors I see here. The mix of the blue and the yellow. The sick stomach experiment is my favorite. I think this book is the best of all the ones I have read!
